Perhaps I should've said biologically, as the article did. The point is that when you say one class of people (females) isn't represented in an industry because "they just aren't born that way," what differentiates it from any other class of people (such as African Americans).

Nothing. There could be genetic differences between people of African descent and others and these might affect intelligence.

In fact, we know there are genetic differences, we just don't know that they affect intelligence.
