Lack of Women Engineers

I am not at all trying to dissuade women from becoming engineers. I just do not see the point of solely appealing to women to do just that, unless there really is a reason to like, say, to explode the stigma surrounding the job percieved by women if it truly exists.
Frankly, I just do not understand the effort to achieve gender parity in the workforce in every job. So long as women are in the workforce and in professional, respectable, jobs, their specific distribution does not seem to matter as much (to me at least).
