No, you're missing the part where women leave tech in droves because of the treatment they experience. Sure, we need to get more women into the pipeline. But we also need to not be pushing them out of the industry because they don't want to be groped, ignored, or otherwise disrespected. In my experience, every woman I've worked with in tech has been above average or excellent. It's the men I've worked with who are much more variable in skill. I heard a woman on this phenomenon in a podcast, saying that we'll know we actually reach gender parity when there are women working in tech who are below average in skill. And we're not there yet; women in tech tend to the exceptional. Women who stay are the ones who couldn't imagine doing something else because they're so good at tech.
