Do you have a Casino nearby? They usually have weekly poker tournaments.

Go to one and tell me how many women are competing.

Here's a typical picture: http://i.imgur.com/h6cDkDB.jpg

There are zero hiring biases at a poker tournament.

So why isn't the gender distribution close to 50/50, instead of 99/1?

Poker is a niche hobby, not some metaphor of competition in life. That picture says more about poker as a way to spend time than about competing. You might as well show pictures from a fly-fishing competition. I don't play poker, yet I am pretty competitive in many aspect of life. All I know is that pretty much every woman I have talked to wants to be more popular, more famous, more successful. And I have seen girls compete for influence, and grades, and victory in sorts from a very young age.

So, women and men are both competitive, but are competitive in different arenas and typically for different reasons.

I believe that's what Damore was saying in the first place.
