If you want women to be half the people on a panel, or in a syllabus, or in a journal ON AVERAGE, there have to be panels and syllabi and journals that are more than half women. If you think 50/50 is enough, panels and syllabi will vary between 0% women and 50% women, and the mean will be well below 50%. We need panels that are 70, 80, 90% women. We need panels with no white members. If you want the mean of the distribution to be 50%, you can’t also set the max to 50% unless every single panel will be evenly split. It’s just math. -- source link
