Typical Liberal idiocy. The longstanding fact is that young women aren't as interested in the sciences as men. There are a lot of areas in university which are very disproportionately female, and nobody seems to care about that. But let there be one which is disproportionately male and the social justice warriors are on the march! Hey, here's an idea. We FORCE young women to enter sciences whether they want to or not. We choose their career path and make them follow it. That way the number of women in science programs will be equal to the number of men, and then you can appoint equal numbers! 

Of course, the more likely alternative is they'll just find some incompetents and appoint them solely based on their gender. Then our glorious science minister - who only got her job due to her womb - will be able to act like she's accomplished something great - just like the girlyman who appointed HER.
