Glad to hear from an ambassador but disagree that her gender is significant. Quality of character and competency is what matters.

It is important in terms of gender distribution in community participation. If you see that 95% of community members are men (being generous), and knowing that men are not 95% more capable than women but rather equitable, then your conclusion will be that the lack of female participation is not about capabilities/qualities.

Men dominate cryptocurrency in general. Men tend to be interested in objects. Women tend to be interested in things. People naturally gravitate towards interests and careers that correspond with their biology. The goal is that both women and men have the freedom to pursue whatever interests and careers they wish not to be arbitrarily pushed or judged for the interests or careers they chose or not chose.

No Cardano board member individually or the board as a whole should be judged favorably or negatively by their gender. A neutral meritocracy is what leads to prosperity and competently built and run systems.
