The presentation doesn't really offer any evidence to disprove the explanatory value of biology in addressing the empirical fact that there are low numbers of women in computer science. It just says that assumptions predicated on biological differences are false, without elaboration.
I'm confused. Was there supposed to be a thesis to this? I mean that sincerely; no disrespect to the author. Personally, I didn't need any convincing that the factors which lead to the gender asymmetry in this field are not reducible to biological distinctions per se to begin with. Still, I'm not sure what the point of the procession of slides is; perhaps it was explained in the verbal narrative to which the slides were an accompaniment at a conference, presentation or other event?
