The 60% is irrelevant. I could equally look at the list of economists that they asked and make the ridiculous statement that "17% of economists are women"

Fittingly, that statement is not far from the truth. (Women are 28% of economics assistant professors in the US, 22% of associate professors with tenure, and 11-12% of full professors.)
