Mayor Pete: Im proud to announce plan to help secure economic, political, social equality for women!

For Democratic candidates, though, "women's rights" aren't about equal opportunity. They're about equal outcome, and the term has become a synonym for government overreach and misuse.
 
The least worrisome (but perhaps most annoying) part of Buttigieg's plan is his gender-quota virtue signaling. In a video announcement for the plan, Buttigieg proclaims, "My Cabinet will be at least 50% women, and so will my judicial appointments." Lawmakers ought to nominate women to Cabinet positions, but that doesn't mean they should be so committed to their quotas that they find the wrong woman for the job (see: President Barack Obama's first secretary of state).
