Moreover, women used to be far more prevalent in early-"IT"/operations than today, a shift that happened really quickly - a generation or two, depending on where you like to start counting. Shifts like this (they've happened elsewhere, too) is one massive argument against the "women just don't like math" silliness that always pops up. > As far as classic economic theory goes, the argument seems to be correct, it's just a poor predictor for what humans will do. Absolutely agree. That's the general thrust of my point overall.
