I've worked in tech for eight years and watched women get interrupted in meetings constantly, yet when I raised it with HR, they said there's no policy issue. Quotas for women on corporate boards are often criticized as tokenism, but voluntary measures have barely moved the needle in a decade. Is forcing gender balance through quotas the only honest way to fix structural bias, or does it just create resentment and undermine merit? I'm genuinely torn because I've seen both sides fail.
