No. lobotryas was saying that we're only discussing shortage of women writing software because it's a well-paying office job. If anything else was kept intact, but either the job was low wage or other jobs that women currently choose much more often were paid as highly, we wouldn't have the discussion about too little women writing software.

Because it was not the lobotryas' point.

You are reading much too deeply into my comment and thereby missing the point entirely. Dozzie's reply covers my intended point very well. Mine was not a post saying "things should be a certain way" or even "our society's values are misaligned". No, I just observed that if we want a certain standard of living in a certain location then the path for us is all but predetermined and that this is a bummer.
