It's forced in the sense that it's not purely based on merit, but also on gender. Which is dumb. Following your logic, even if they impose 100% men, they would still be democratically elected. Does that make it not discriminatory?

My bad then. I also misunderstood the title. I thought this was about quotas being in place. If it just randomly happens that they hit 50 50 then nothing is wrong with it obviously. On the other hand, and while i understand some people's need to celebrate such an event, i personally believe that real equality means not caring what people do with their lives, or in this instance, whether we achieve a 50/50 split at a given job or position.
