>I believe we would need to make real and measurable progress on sexism as the cause of the gender gap before we start looking for other reasons There is actually another way to move past sexism as the primary cause - show that sexism is comparable in other fields with a much smaller gender gap. If Engineering has 2 "sexism units", Medicine has 2.3 and Law 1.5 for instance, that might imply that sexism isn't the cause of Engineering's gender gap - because otherwise we'd expect similar gaps in Law and Medicine.
