Yes. Except that even most men don't want to do this. It's just that of the fairly small percentage of people overall that enjoy this, more are men than women.

I still do not understand why this is even (made into) an issue.

I don't either. It seems there are strong cultural components as well. At least it seems useful to continue talking about and studying.

1) we don't know if it's true or not.

2) population level statistics are used to deny women jobs, so they're losing out on work and companies are losing out on best talent for a job.

I have never heard of this happening in tech. Can you elaborate?

I have seen population level statistics used to deny men jobs, not the other way around.
