Most of the solutions applied to even out gender imbalances are bad solutions, for several reasons, some of which you outline. The prevalence of bad simplistic solutions should not suggest that it is not a problem worth addressing, however. Only that the problem is not trivially addressed, if at all deemed a problem.

That interest needs to be encouraged, or at least not discouraged, far earlier.
