From our perspective, when we're having conversations around committee composition, board composition, and conference speakers, something I hear cited again and again is that we need 50% women. “Come on, the government did it: 50% in the cabinet. We can do it.” That was a sterling example that is cited often and is enormously encouraging.
From our point of view, the second thing is that studies show that, in media, women hire women. If there's a woman producer, she's going to hire women directors. She's going to hire women screenwriters, etc. There is a trickle-down effect, or a virtuous circle, you could say. When we see more women in power, I think the same thing applies.
Whether or not that should be mandated is beyond the scope of my expertise, so I won't comment on that.
