A lot of the discrimination women face is entirely unconscious and unintentional. Very often all it takes is for someone to point it out for it to be rectified. Other times it's more difficult. While some of the solutions proposed now are inelegant, within a generation or two when people are used to seeing women in the same capacity as men, such measures won't even be needed. It is, I believe, what most of us want. It's just the hurdles in the way that get people squabbling.
