Identity politics has truly become a swamp,  where honest discussion of the ways to get to equality are often shouted down as not 'pure' enough;

Margaret is often  wrong in her argumentative, anti-PC role on the Globe op-ed page, but frankly there is far more common sense in her Google-guy piece  than in most others on this subject. Women are perfectly able to choose their career fields, they now make up almost 60 per cent of undergrads at large universities, and there are going to be statistical disparities, including professions (veterinary, family medicine., editing etc.) where they are hugely predominant, percentage-wise.

Nothing wrong with that.
