California has two female senators. One of them should resign and only a male be appointed/elected in her place.

More than that, its discrimination.

You get a post based solely on your gender, not on the qualifications for the job.

When the Supreme Court allowed affirmative action to stand, this was the inevitable result - and it will spread. They will mandate equal financial outcomes for gender (as they’ve already done for race) - and it will have the same catastrophic outcome: Less effort by qualified workers as they slow to just above the pace of the tokens (to legally cover their arses in the event of bad reviews other actions by the employer).

When my employer started replacing retiring men with pairs of women (not far from retirement themselves), I slipped into low gear and set the cruise control - for years now. Instead of the promoted employees working longer hours and/or doing harder work, it was split between a she-token and a buddy, leading to shorter hours with less work - and in some cases, the hardest work simply being undone (transferred elsewhere or simply dropped from the radar). Us real workers are expected to train the tokens, but most have no interest in learning real work anyway - so I keep my knowledge to myself (barring a contract, every worker should - no need to train your own replacement with a crash course in what you’ve learned over decades). I feel like a politician sometimes, due to the amount of times I replay “I don’t know” or “I don’t recall”; let them earn their pay to go along with the titles.

Keep a low profile, do your work well, and keep the paychecks coming...
