1) How many jobs that are known for attracting socially adjusted, good looking men can you name where most of the winners are women?
2) How many high social status, well varied jobs can you name where most of the winners are women?
Law is both high status and favors people who are attractive and have good social skills. According to [1], women are 34% of the law industry compared with 12.33% of software engineers [2].
3) You defeat your point in your own parentheses.

EDIT: I'm not going to reply to any comment that isn't a reply to this. You don't have to agree with the way that the delay before you can respond to a post grows exponentially as thread depth increases, but threads are unreadable if you try to circumvent it.
