I'm as skeptical as you are of "handwaves", and I'd like to see definitive research into this very important topic. Government intervention should be based on proof, not skepticism or bias.
But the left won't allow research or even discussion of the topic, so we don't know whether IQ, for example, is actually a cause of the unequal outcome in software development.
Merely discussing the greater male variability hypothesis is enough to cause research to be disappeared. [1]
And suggesting that IQ may be unequal between groups is enough to end careers.
