Bias cannot stop people from succeeding a high paying field. There are always contrarian investors and passionate people willing to work for free doing what they love. I don't see a reason why they cannot eventually find each other. The power of bias is greatly exaggerated, especially when all it takes is one person to hire you. Are we to believe that people only operate on stereotypes without ever questioning them and gathering evidence firsthand, especially when denouncing a particular stereotype has become so fashionable?

And all it takes is one winning lottery ticket to never work again.I don't even understand the substance of your complaint: sexism isn't a problem unless everyone in the world is sexist? Nobody is accusing you personally of discriminating, but you have to acknowledge that, in aggregate, the field is less welcoming to women.
