> Another aspect you need to look at is why groups in the west wants women in STEM: For making a lot of money (“upwards mobility”, financial autonomy) and theoretically making products that factor in women/different audiences more. (The latter being new since influential tech companies is also new.) My opinion is that I agree that money is the reason, but not in the way you described. Think about basic supply and demand. What happens if you increase the supply of the workforce? Wages become surpressed. That is why big tech is gung-ho trying to do everything they can to encourage more women into tech. I don't believe it's some great ethical crusade, I believe they want a bigger pool of employees to keep salaries as low as conceivably possible.
