I don't think derisive attitudes in the workplace adequately explain it, because there are a lot fewer women in CS/engineering school too.


I certainly don't mean to imply that misogyny (which those kind of attitudes are a specific expression of) begins in the workplace. It's just where I currently am in life and where it has been most apparent to me in the past several years. I agree that it starts much earlier and there is significant work to be done at that level as well.


I'm not sure misogyny is the only possible explanation here, and I am almost certain it doesn't account for the entire gap.
