I do not put weight on gender as an indicator of anything.

I did not think I would have a better chance at becoming a Lawyer because many men are lawyers or that I would have a worse chance at becoming a Teacher because most of my teachers were Women.

I don't believe there need to be more women in tech, or more male teachers. There needs to be the best at what they do doing it. Gender is not a measure of merit.

I generally attempt to stay out of these discussions, but I believe the thinking is "If genders are equal and can do things as well as one another in any field, any large discrepancies in gender distribution can often signify some level of sexism".

A recent study found exactly the opposite of what you believe[1].

"What we found is that in communities that had a higher percentage of women in the labor force who are working in science, technology, engineering and math, that in those schools, girls were as likely as boys to take physics, or even more likely."

May there be more like you.
