I don't think I'm serving any purpose by continuing this discussion. I doubt if anyone will be able to persuade me that it's a good thing to divide people up by sex, and I'm not going to be able to convince other people that it's a bad thing. There's no middle we can meet in here, so we're going to have to agree to disagree.
In closing, to rephrase something I saw referring to religion: Anyone who can require other people to put appropriate numbers of women in their writing can require you to put appropriate numbers of men in yours. I don't know about anyone else, but I truly do not want a Committee of Political Correctness passing judgment on what I write.
