The statement of "Facts are the opposite" isn't a compelling argument. I wrote that there is a social stigma against women, in the United States, against going into technical fields. If you want to view that as "society keeping them out", then fine. But women aren't being kept out in any overt way. Women would have been accepted just as anyone else in my Computer Science university program. These would be women who hadn't even gotten started on the career paths. If they are being kept-out, then why are the foreign women that I work with, who don't share the same sense of social stigma, able to have such productive careers? Are they immune from the bad treatment?
