Yeah, women get driven out of tech in droves.
In order to even survive, the average woman has to be at the very top of their game, or else theyd be gone because it isn't worth it to put up with all the BS that they have to.

True, over 40% of women leave SET (science, engineering, technology, math) mid-career (https://www.ncwit.org/sites/default/files/resources/womenint... page 9).
Interestingly, in engineering 39% leave mid-career, and in technology occupations 56%.
How does that compare to other fields?
That doesn't seem to be the standard though.
I do see one issue though: women are far more likely to be sick (at least around here statistics are quite clear IIRC).
That's only the case for younger workers. For older workers, men are more likely to be sick, according to insurance statistics.
I'll accept it for now but I guess I'll have to look that up before I feel confident to tell that as fact.
Edit: why was parent downvoted?
