It’s self evident from the known principles, isn’t it? In nature among sexually reproducing creatures, the male is always the primary displayer (of prowess, ability, etc.) It would then stand to reason, that there is a much larger range of ability among males than females, who in nature are decidedly average (to risk variation in them would be inefficient). So, what we end up seeing empirically is that across an IQ distribution chart, for example, females occupy a large bulk in the middle, representing a large group of very average ability, while the males dominate both the dumbest and the smartest areas of the range. It shouldn’t furthermore be any surprise that among the highest levels of ability in any field, one would find very few females. And, considering that Comp Sci itself ranks near the top of occupations in terms of required IQ, then one should expect to see a larger number of males in that field in general, which is exactly the “problem” that currently vexes Silicon Valley. Of course, any technically competent woman who desires to work in the tech field should be in no way hindered from doing so, but to give jobs to women candidates in place of more capable male ones is plainly unjust.
