Who is setting and enforcing this quota, and given that only about 1 in 20 Python programmers is a woman, do you think men are seriously missing out on any opportunities?
Suppose there are 100 people wanting to ask questions, and there is only time to answer 10 questions. If the 1 in 20 ratio holds, then 5 of those people are women and the other 95 are men. Alternating between men and women means that all of the women get their questions answered, and only 5/95 of the men. So in this example, if you're a woman you have a 100% chance of getting answered, and if you're a man you only have a 5.26% chance. Whether you think this is a good strategy or not, beliavsky is right that it's not "equal". -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
