I'm not the one saying there's another realistic explanation. You should direct those questions at someone who is.

Which one of the non-realistic explanations is the closest to being a realistic explanation, and in what way does it fall short?

A non-realistic explanation would be that women are evolutionarily built to hate programming/technology so these fields naturally do not appeal to them. This also encompasses the "men are better at tech" thing.

Another non-realistic explanation would be that women collectively do not want to go into tech despite being equally good at it as men. As in, there isn't any discrimination, and they would be just as suited as men, but most women just go, "Meh. Don't care." for some reason.

I've heard both of these things and neither of them make any sense.
