To say we have don't have enough women in STEMS is another way of saying we have too many engineers that are male and white or asian. It's unfair to those that choose this path regardless of sex. Women are actively recruited and even bribed into these schools. I have personally seen how women get a huge hiring preference already. Women are well represented in the life sciences anyway. But to mandate a minimum 40% will absolutely mean young men will have to be turned away from engineering schools and that is unfair.
