Its like "we're all equal, so in reference to that we need equal demographics to prove it." Anyway, just had to get that off my chest.

It shouldn't matter. However, when the demographics of people running don't match the demographics of the population you should at least question why - are there barriers to women running for office or reasons why they aren't running?
