They do. One thing that I realized over time is how important representation is. Try to notice how many things you avoid doing because you don't see someone like yourself doing it. At least for me, there are lots of them. Giving women and minorities a chance to participate in these activities will encourage younger generations to be more open about women in the workforce, and this is especially important in places where this is a taboo.

Yes, it is true that they will take the place of someone who may be more qualified, but it is also true that this is an investment towards the future of the other 50% of the population who don't get to have these roles just because "they are jobs for men".
