As a woman in STEM: I don’t give a fuck if the people in the ads using the device are men or women or cats. (Actually, I’d love to see a major manufacturer only use cats in their ads)
We have far bigger problems than this, like, for example, on the one side income equality, and on the other side people trying to fix it by banning wage negotiations. A good way to handle it would be by implementing a system – like VW did – where, up to the interview, the company only sees your CV, qualifications and references, but not age, gender or sex. This is far more useful for us right now than any kind of "let's force ads to contain 50% women"
