The purpose is to give everyone an even chance, not necessarily to make every profession perfectly balanced.

There are enough claims of sexism that I think it's reasonable to conclude there is at least some sexism present. If you eliminated sexism and there was still a sex imbalance, no one would care.

There is a lot of anger arouns this issue, but when you actually talk to people, just about everyone wants the same thing--equality of opportunity.

Unfortunately I don't think your last sentence is true. The article itself refers several times to "equity" as a top priority, and that word now refers very explicitly to equality-of-outcome as opposed to equality-of-opportunity.
