You might have already answered the question. It might have gotten missed. Have you ever hired a man in your current supervisory role? If so, what is the mix? 10% men/90% women? 50% men/50% women? 75% men/25% women? or no preference/doesn't weigh into the decision at all? Some people might be curious about the situation.
The result has been that men are increasingly dropping out of society. They don't marry, they don't go to college because they see no reason to break their humps to get ready to provide for a family -- they aren't going to be having a family.
Lots has been written about this phenomena, most of it in the strain of "why is it that men are so childish now." But men are not dropping out because of arrested development. They are acting rationally in response to myriad laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century.
I see no rational basis why the “mix” of men and women should be a consideration at all. For any given position, it only makes sense to hire the candidate who is best qualified for that position.
All the people I've hired have been men but HR has yet to send me a female candidate at allOnce upon a time I asked someone if they had ever hired a man. This was my exact wording:
I was accused of being unrealistic and delusional. If that's the case I suppose I am not the only person with the same delusion. Read this post.
My question is two fold and is directed at people responsible for hiring. However you are free to participate in this poll as if you were the person responsible for hiring.
The first question: Do you prefer to hire men or women?
The second question: What is the appropriate mix of male/female ratio?

My workplace is one man to about 20 women. I'm a minority, kinda like the token black guy.
It depends on how readily available wa-wa peddles areI worked in a place like that. It didn't end well at all.
wa-wa peddles

We all know that spud and stud rhymeI don't know what wa-wa peddles are. I was fired for misconduct.
I do understand what Bow-chicka-bow-bow means. I was fired for misconduct but it wasn't sexual misconduct.
Stud works with a lot of women, I was trying to make a joke that didn't seem to workAre these sexual innuendos that I don't know or are you saying something ridiculous and pretending that it is a sexual innuendo?
I'm having a hard time understanding your posts in this thread.

IndeedI understand now. I still don't understand the wa-wa peddles. Are wa-wa peddles musical devices used to make porn music?
I hire the most qualified candidates, gender, race or sexual orientation doesn't even enter into it.
This isn't the court of law. You are not in trouble.
