I think the point is there are only so many women to go around, so to have more women in tech we need to pull women out of fields where they are overrepresented

Maximum diversity is not "100% women in every field". It's 50% women in every field. Women should be underrepresented relative to nursing, because they're vastly overrepresented in nursing.
