You can not seriously believe that there is no more diversity in CS just because "they don't want to".

I have seem many arguments to this. I have seem many solution proposed to "fix" this situation. Many which I don't agree with. But you win the price of the most shortsighted take on it.

I do it myself, that's why i believe it also works like that for other folks.

If some dancing school complains about the low amount of men I'd shake my head. Sucks for them, but I'm just not into it. Why should it be different for women?

You assume your personal view as the only true view. You give an example which strips away any nuance to the conversation. It only confirms your shortsightedness.
Its a plausible explanation that requires no form of discrimination or badness to explain the observations.

Also, you could offer a counter-explanation.
