This not "equal opportunity". It is a quota system.
It's a corrective action, a way of getting men accustomed to listening
to women and hearing good ideas and questions from them, and a way to
accustom women to speaking in (currently) male dominated groups.
And it is far more equal opportunity than having 25 males ask questions
and only one or two females.
