That also suggests there is a natural ratio, something I for one don't believe. I do agree with part of what you are saying though - the work done in colleges and in the hiring space needs to reflect some sort of existing ratio of people who are qualified and interested at that point. However, I believe there is also significant work to be done to investigate any such natural ratio and fight against it if it comes from any sort of societal assumptions, as I believe it does.

There's must be a natural ratio, the population size is finite!

Divide the number of women who want to be in tech by the number of people who want to be in tech and you have the ratio.

But yes, we obviously have to do some work to figure out the numbers.

"That also suggests there is a natural ratio, something I for one don't believe."

Just curious, why not? There are many obvious physical differences between men and women, why not mental as well?
