Clearly, some of the people commenting and the writer are ignorant of the mountain of evidence about the role that biases and barriers play in the under representation of women in STEM and leadership. Have you read the studies that indicate that when names are removed from resumes or scientific papers submitted for publication, or performers audition behind a screen, more women end up being selected? But, that's not the basis of most hiring decisions right now. Merit is a myth.

It isn't about women and men having different interests. It's about recognizing excellence when you see it. It's about understanding that research teams with people of different genders, races, ethnicities, abilities and experiences produce better quality work.

Educate yourselves before you write an opinion.
