That’s fine with me. Less of a chance affirmative action will have an effect on my profession.

The vast majority of those women are now lawyers or CPAs.

Well, maybe NOW it doesn't have an effect. Back in the late 70s, affirmative action in the computer industry was alive and well. Coming out of college, I got maybe one or two second interviews and one job offer. Meanwhile, the female students that I was tutoring in programming got 4 and 5 offers.
