This is really strange reasoning: "people claim that in field X, group Y doesn't enter for reason Z. Therefore if in field A group B isn't entering it MUST be for reason Z, and couldn't possibly be for another reason".

The actual logical problem I was pointing out was in tptacek’s implied argument that “if a field is 80+% one gender, the only possible explanation is that the dominant gender is gatekeeping the minority gender”.
