I don't see that counting women in offices is any different than counting them in tables of contents.
I'm not grumpy, I just don't believe that judging whether each jar of beans contains the 'right' number of the 'right' qualities (sex, color, whatever) is a positive step towards judging people as individuals. I believe that is has the opposite effect, it enhances the focus on the ticky box rather than on the individual.
