Except in corporate board rooms, heads of public institutions, and of course as politicians.
While the fur flies in Parliament about the cuts to the Womens Programs by a Woman Minister,who is being directed by the social conservative lobby REAL Women the real question is being avoided.
Women are not a minority in Canada. They are the MAJORITY. 51% of Canadians are women.
So instead of talking about equality, or how political parties are going to attract more women candidates, so lacking in the house now, the question should be why the Majority does not rule in Canada.
Because it's still a mans world, since they have no child care responsibilites.

thank you Captain Obvious.
women have outnumbered men since at least as far back as the end of WWII
Gee might that explanin why the need to create the social construction of the 'little woman', the idealized 'housewife', the modern 'domestic servant'. A creation that actually began after WWI, as we see in the Blondie and Dagwood comics.
That being said this little fact is overlooked and is worth repeating, Women Are Not A Minority Group.
