This is one of the things I think it's very hard to discuss sanely. I suppose because to be sane you have to hold two things in your mind that pull in opposite directions.
I think that there are a handful of core differences between men and women that reliably express themselves in the type of professions they tend to pursue, and it's delusional to pretend otherwise.
I also think it's delusional to deny that massively skewed distributions are often really good indicators that something pathological is going on with the pipeline.
As a general rule of thumb, a hell of a lot of stuff turns out to be class #2 that you initially think is class #1, e.g., once upon a time there were zero MMA fighters. Now there are many. But it's still skewed, and I don't think that's a problem.
Is something pathological happening with airlines pilots and plumbers?
