In reply to Peter Shaw.

There was a list of 75 women who approached to take part. Out of all those there will certainly be candidates who are perfect for the job. It is not woke tokenism. I understand it can be difficult to empathise with people who suffer unfair biases when you’re a person who is not repressed due to your gender. The point is to address systemic gender imbalances in the tech industry and in the world in general. To suggest otherwise is unhelpful and indeed feeds into the toxic patriarchy that creates this systemic imbalance in the first place.
