I am just confused.
I think we might agree that how social women vs men are in the certain age group are relatively constant through time. IE in 60s men is about as social as they are now, but the number of women in STEM decreased through the same time period.
I think it is just market forces in play plus gender roles in childhood. Women get discriminated in tech(study and jobs), resulting in subpar outcomes for women. This information propagates through the market so women choose not to participate in that kind of work because opportunity costs are too high and they choose to do something else.
Very similar situation growing up where gender roles and parents push girls away from STEM.
If companies and educational institution in STEM treated men and women the same, we would get much better distribution.
Not rocket science here. Education plus equal treatment.
