The word “unintended,” while probably accurate, is bothersome. The intention should be to maximize individual choice. Are we supposed to force women into senior positions to please our sensibilities?

I hear you, and you make a good point. However, I think the term 'unintended' is both accurate and non-bothersome in this case, as I am confident that when the law was designed, it did not factor in this downstream impact.
