Once again:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your logic seems to be:
1. Women are well-represented in many STEM fields other than CS or software development. (I don't dispute that, or the bullet points you provided to support it.)
2. These other fields often involve use of computers and software development. (I don't dispute that, or the bullet points you provided to support it.)
3. Therefore, it logically follows that they SHOULD also be well-represented in CS and software development.
4. Since they're not, it's "obvious" that "the field is hostile to them."
I think that's ridiculous, for previously stated reasons.
