Just seen this petition last night- any thoughts?

David49 equality of opportunity is not about treating everyone the same, it's about recognising and removing the barriers that exist that prevent equality. If you take your last statement and apply it to other groups that are disadvataged in society it's easy to see why your suggestion is not viable.

I’m no more misogynist than women are misandrist, women can take on almost any career they choose. Men choose not to do roles that women do in exactly the same way women choose not to do those that men do.
Maybe there should be a law that says both sexes should represented equally in all roles.

Ultimately, the goal should be to empower individuals to pursue their passions and careers without the constraints of gender stereotypes, while also recognizing and addressing systemic barriers that may exist. This is to the advantage of both the individual and society.

Who would not want that, other than those whose ill-gotten privileges give them unearned gains by stripping out legitimate competition?
