Women are also currently well-represented in computing in Eastern Europe, Iran, China, and somewhat in Russia.

None of these regions particularly care about "women in tech", and most of them are certifiably more patriarchal than any of the Western countries currently suffering from under-representation of women.

One can conclude from facts on the ground that neither gender equality nor pro-diversity movements correlate with desirable representation outcomes. Yet, those appear to be the only approaches attempted here in the West.

We're not serious about tackling the problem. We are, however, quite good at grifting off the problem with proposals we know don't work.
