> cultural oppression - that might have been a valid reason many decades ago but not these days. Most of the men on H1B visa get married and their spouses arrive on dependent H4 visa.

So why aren’t the women arriving on H1B visas and their spouses on dependent H4s?

Women are generally under represented in IT. And usually there is a high level of hesitation, fear-of-unknown-foreign-land among young women when they travel alone from home country to any other country. Things are changing fast though.

Very few H1B women are willing to marry someone from back home and bring him over as a dependent, so you don't see many male H4s.
