Please don't do that. I went to great lengths to explicitly say multiple times that I do not believe sexism is non-existent. I said that I do not believe sexism is the primary cause of the current gender gap in tech. You went and turned the conversation around to fit your own narrative, and now you're asking literally the exact same question I asked you, back to me? Come on. You're the one that thinks there is a massive concerted effort to keep women out of tech. It's on you to explain how tech is unique in this regard, when other professions are not nearly as affected. It's also on you to explain how sexist tactics used 30 years ago are keeping women from pursuing CS degrees today.

> I also very explicitly referred to "high-paying careers" in my original reply, which is the only sensible way to look at sexism

What??? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Here's what you're saying if we follow your logic: If male person A wants to pursue a high-paying job, and female person B wants to pursue a low-paying job, sexism is keeping person B out of a high-paying career. That's not how sexism works. You're just arguing in circles here without showing me how the hypothesis that maybe women don't want to work in tech at the same rate as men is incorrect.
