Others would disagree that there are no social structures supporting a gender imbalance. Enough work has been done to show that teachers (particularly female ones) impede female students in mathematics at the elementary and primary levels. It is entirely possible that similar mechanisms exist in Computer Science. Certainly this has not been ruled out, and therefore one cannot conclude that any difference is due to innate ability. The article mocks not the idea that men and women have innate differences in skills, but the facile reasoning that attempts to justify holding such a view. To put it simply, it is entirely possible that innate differences are the reason for the gender imbalance, but any article that attempts to use evolutionary biology and some sort of idea of historical gender roles resulting in a gender's predisposition to a task is likely suspect.
