I feel like maybe you are overstating the case, but I gave you an upvote anyway, since I think there is a case to be made along those lines.

I upvoted the article as well, for similar reasons.




What is the case to be made along those lines--a case based on evidence and not rank speculation?

I loved building software. Like nearly everyone here on HN, I put up with the drudgery of debugging race conditions in other peoples' code in return for the opportunity to work on the fun parts. Why should we credit an argument that presupposes that women wouldn't feel the same way? In particular, why should we credit that argument over the article's argument: that women leave the profession in greater numbers because men give them more of the drudgery and less of the fun stuff?
