Except fields often aren’t open to people in different demographics. Sexism and racism are both very real and objectively quantified.

Outcome differences are real and quantified. Your preferred explanations for the differences are not. Racism and sexism are not the most parsimonious explanations for the majority of outcome variance. We know this because there are shallower nodes in the causal graph you can condition on and race/sex disappears as an outcome predictor.

The problem is that when you quantify sexism in tech objectively, the results aren't what most people expect.
