What do you mean by "more interested in having babies than men"?

Do you mean that, because women are capable of carrying a child to term that they are more interested in copulating?

Do you mean to say that women want to have and raise children more than men?

I'm not sure I understand your point.

As to "Women are also just different than men in some way, not just physically, but socially", all I can say is this was much more true 50 years ago than it is today, but that doesn't mean that it's not true now. What I (as well as the author of the article) was trying to address is: Why?

"We should close gender gap where possible, but we shouldn't insist on equal gender balance if women really don't like to go into the same career that men goes into."

Who is advocating forcing people to do things?

I felt like that there is an assumption of male sexist bias against women or something. So I feel something like "assumption of female ability in all area, regardless of reality".

I also feel the ideas of "males are sexists and evil and the like".

Then they forget that males are disproportional one of the most violent offenders, but also overachievers.

So I spoke the truth as I see it.

Don't be so offended, I would like a hacker woman to marry and love. I wish there were more of them around and I wish I have the skills to date them. However, I also recognized, that women are women, and there will never be a 50% split gender tech population.

I think what kiba and Beatrice Pang are saying is that it is biologically ingrained in the psyche of women to want children.

The same way a hot woman is universally attractive to heterosexual men. It's how we are. I guess my second point is a bit irrelevant but I'm adding on to what Beatrice is saying: much of our behaviors follow a certain template to ensure the continuation of the species, there's a special synergy between men and women.
