Maybe quotas would be easier for voters to swallow if they came with time limits. “X% of the council has to be women for the next ten years, but after that you can vote for all men again.” And then ten years later the stereotypes have been reduced, and the quota isn’t needed as much.

Or if they were symmetric. N% of seats are required to be held by men, N% by women. Symmetry does wonders for perception of unfairness.
