While we're on the rational point, I personally take inspiration from Bayes Law---A gender gap is weak evidence for sexist practices. All else equal, sexists worlds are more likely to produce gender gaps than non-sexist ones. To me, part of the trickiness of the entire "equality" discussions is that we don't have clear, "correct" distributions of variable X for demographic Y. Pure egalitarianism is iffy, because given any distribution, we can manufacture a demographic that is "underrepresented", so it's not at all clear that flat equality across "reasonable" demographics is even logically sound. I kind of piggy backed off your comment there and ran in a bit of a different direction. Hope you don't mind.
