I'm addressing CS because it's relevant to me. It's a community that I participate in so I'm addressing this issue in my community. Honestly though, the gap between women and men in CS is far greater than other fields.

You're replying to a reply about blacks' presence in these fields, not women's.

Yes you're correct, I honestly don't know what the achievement gap is for other science fields - so I don't know if it's worse in CS for people of color.
