Men and Women
subtly trend towards liking different things. Even a small difference in preferences or skill can make a huge difference once you are selecting for the top 1-2%, essentially eliminating one group or the other.
Assuming a standard bell curve, even a difference of just 1-2% in ability (or people with the greatest ability choosing a different career) means that at the top 1% there can be a 100-1 difference or more in the numbers of each group.
In combination with The Norwegian Paradox, this explains the massive difference in the numbers of men and women getting to the top of fields such as this, without it being the fault of 'The Patriarchy'.
Women, for example, are more likely than men to choose public sector careers. This contributes to the pay gap (public sector jobs tend to pay less) and limits the pool of female talent available for top private sector roles.
Last year, researchers in the US and UK found that countries with an existing culture of gender equality have a smaller proportion of women taking degrees in science, technology and mathematics (STEM).
When given the total freedom to choose the career they prefer, women trend away from technical careers.
How to have equality then? Do you allow people to choose the career they prefer, or do you force them into one they do not want to do to enforce gender equality across all jobs?
There will be a lot of unhappy Binwomen if you do...

I don't
I do my own research and avoid being indoctrinated by either viewpoint.
Unfortunately, these days, a neutral objective viewpoint that ascertains real reasons for social imbalances is seen negatively.

but putting 'the patriarchy' in quotes sort of kicks you off the fence, m8
