> We're not serious about tackling the problem. We are, however, quite good at grifting off the problem with proposals we know don't work.

Could it be that women tend to care about stuff like a healthy work-life balance, and things like the 996.ICU working week can discourage them from applying? Whoops no, we've been told that's sexist wrongthink.

Could it be that computers are boring af and most of these people who genuinely care about computing are somewhere on the autism spectrum (which is mostly populated by males)

We’re all in the spectrum. That’s why it’s called a spectrum. :-)

Your comment is great and more observant than most everything in this thread. The answer is freedom, when women have lots of choices they don't choose to play with things as often as men.
