Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con que las listas de mujeres son un "regalo envenenado", porque se coloca la etiqueta vergonzante (como a las supuestas brujas en la Edad Media o a los judíos muy recientemente). No quiero decir que sea una vergüenza ser mujer, en absoluto (yo lo soy) .  No hay peor comentario que "claro, como eres mujer..."
Lo trise es que si hacen listas mixtas, no suelen aparecer mujeres, porque están en posiciones muy lejanas de la cabeza, pero cada vez un poco más arriba.  A ver si haciendo listas mixtas e indicando "la primera mujer aparece en el puesto x y las 5 primeras mujeres en los xxx puestos, queda en evidencia lo relegadas que están las mujeres de valía en el mundo profesional.
Ayer mismo veía datos de un despacho de abogados, en el que tras hacer las loas de los 25 mejores socios, no había ni una sola mujer, a pesar de que la presencia de la mujer en el mundo jurídico es mayoritaria (desde la universidad). 
Si hasta ahora no eran listas de hombres (aunque sólo ellos aparecieran), no hay por qué hacer lista de mujeres, excepto los Head Hunters, que tienen que renovar un poquito su archivo y sus criterios.
