I'm really hoping that people will one day understand the math of large  populations. There is no limit to what women can do. People have preferences for different types of work. Slightly more people of one sex have a preference for a type of work than the other.

But marginal differences at the mean are amplified in the extremeties of the distribution curve, so a 1% average difference across the entire population can translate to 500%  difference at the very top and bottom of the scale. When you are looking for one-in--thousand employee, you are working in the extremes of the population distribution, so its expected that minor trends will be amplified.
