Sure there are sex differences in the distribution of traits. How does any of this relate to suitability for software engineering jobs? Men with certain traits decide that hiring people like themselves is the path to success, make workplaces unfriendly to women, and then claim the sex distribution of their workers is innate and nothing can be done because science proves that men and women don't have identical distributions on certain personality and intelligence traits!

> Men with certain traits decide that hiring people like themselves is the path to success, make workplaces unfriendly to women Facts don't fit your narrative. The percentage of female software engineers at Google matches the percentage of female software engineers that graduate with CS degrees. If sexism is driving women away from CS, then it's driving them away way earlier than when they apply for jobs at Google.
