Actually it seems that the evidence is against you.

In the most unequal societies (Russia[0], India[1]) the tech industry is much closer to gender parity than in the west.

Sweden has gone further than any other nation on earth to be equitable across gendered lines yet remains extremely unequal in the actual working model. (In my former employer 14% of applicants were women, yet they constitute 20% of employed staff due to excessive D&I initiatives).

I should be self interested, we’re talking about competition for work. It would be death to roll over. Jobs are absolutely zero sum-

However my argument is backed by statistics, so I think you need to face the reality in front of you.
