Even saying "many" is perpetuating a stereotype, and its harmful in the way all stereotypes are.
See how controversial saying "Many women tend to gravitate away from technology & towards people-focused disciplines" is, for the same reasons. It subtly disempowers people within the stereotype by implying they must be a certain kind of person or do only certain things.
