I get that there will always be need to represent certain regions and groups with these appointments, but I feel like this declaration went beyond the norm. At the very least, frame your appointments as ones made on merit, not as one that fills a quota. I'm sure there are plenty of qualified women who can stand as ministers without the need for a PR hand up.
