The number was less than 5% thirty years ago. I was one of the first female bank managers in Canada, and things were very difficult for women breaking through the glass ceiling. I was harassed and insulted endless at every management meeting I ever attended. I was blocking a great training job that a man could use because I wouldn't take a transfer. Telling them I would take a transfer didn't deter the abuse.
Female run companies have proven that women are just as effective as managers as men. That's made it easier for women. In 1975, I could count on the fingers of one hand how many women I knew in branch banking management. Now, nearly half of the branch banking managers are women and 40% of senior bank staff are women. There were NO senior bank staff who were women in my day. As of 2021, women occupied 39.5 per cent of senior management positions and 48.6 per cent of all middle management positions at Canada's six largest banks.

Your comment that Biden and Trudeau hire on the basis of sex, not qualifications, is laughable. Trump hired 1 black man and 2 women for his cabinet. Other than press aides, all of his advisors were white men. And your assumption that the men were more capable or qualified is bullshit.
There are so many qualified and capable women/minorities/gays waiting for an opportunity, and working their way in through secretarial/administrative assistant jobs, and then slotting into management training when an opening presents itself, because the white men still get hired first.
Trump appointed Amy Coney Barrett - the least qualified SC candidate I've seen in my lifetime, in terms of experience. She was a law professor before Trump appointed her to the appeals court, and the ink was barely dry on that appointment when she was elevated to the SC. But she was Catholic, and rabidly anti-abortion, and those were the only two qualifications that mattered, if he had to appoint a woman.
Joe Biden's pick, your so-called "affirmative action hire", had a comparable educational record to ACB, but she had 12 years experience as a federal judge\ in Washington DC - one of the busiest federal courts in the country, and had been both a federal prosecutor, and a public defender before being elevated to the bench. She's the most qualified and experienced person appointed to the SC since RBG.
The year, I became a bank manager, I won an Award for being the top branch management employee in Ontario. I left the bank when they hired a man right off the street for a job I was both qualified and available for, and sent him to me to train telling him that I was "the best consumer lending specialist there is". Not only did they give this guy the job I had applied for, they were paying him 25% more than they were paying me.
Is the Difference in Work Hours the Real Reason for the Gender Wage Gap? [Interactive Infographic]
Every year, the Department of Labor issues a report on the pay gap between women and men.

Men choose to work more no matter what the situation is, because men are often biologically wired to value/choose different things than women, and women are wired to often value/choose different than men.. which is a good thing. It explains any difference in outcome. Woke feminist conspiracies about a gender pay gap and a secret patriarchy are invented myths to rally the depressed/angry… Men and women are generally different and compliment each other.
As for Biden, he literally said his unknown SCOTUS nomination was going to be a black female.. and then found a black female. He made his intentions clear, her record was not the primary reason she got the job.
