Every report I see indicates that ~20-25% of software engineers in the US are women.

This is true for employees in mainstream careers. Unfortunately it seems to not hold when looking at major open source projects, where gender diversity is routinely below 10% female. The picture gets even worse when proportioning representation by the quantity of changes/commits, where female representation is well below that.
