Is it really true that there are enough highly-skilled but unemployed women in tech that we can fix this problem by just "hiring more women"? I thought the problem is that there aren't enough highly skilled women at this point in our history, but I could be entirely off-base...

And yet tech companies are now being told that in order to bring about equality, they must hire the comparatively tiny number of women making it through these courses over similarly qualified men, simply for the sake of doing so.
