People are who they are and go where they want. Tech is no exception.
When one walks into a car garage, one doesn't make a fuss about mechanics being all men.
When one walks into a kindergarden, one doesn't make a fuss about teachers being all women.
Have you had conversations with other people about this stuff or have you deduced it all from first principles?
I feel like gender only matters to the kind of people that gender matters to (tautologies are cool).
But I agree, being confrontational will not fix things. At the same time, it being subconscious makes it not a single person's fault. One can and should do better than that, but if sub-ideal situations happen (within reason), it does not mean the person is bad. So actions can be judged with this in mind for now, and everyone can be less afraid to make mistakes.
Someone questions my abilities to drive the heavy car for a long distance, but never the guys'? Let's have a look at what is happening, laugh about it and correct for it. But it has to be out in the open.

You can not have a conversation with circular logic like this.
How does that solve any gender problems? I don't see how me not reading certain topics solves gender problems.
