How many women did they have with the same qualifications as the men? How many women work the same amount of hours? How many women even applied for the job?
My local kindergarten also only has women. Guess why?
If diversity would achieve it, then do that, if homogeneity would achieve that, then do that.
Personally, I think they need to figure out what their main goal is. Is it diversification in this one area, or is it parity/supremacy in this one area and then go from there. One cannot serve two masters.
The solution is clear: get the ideologues out of positions of power and replace them with more level-headed people. Speak up when confronted with or by such ideologues, don't be cowed by the labels they're wont to attach to detractors as they're only words which have been appropriated with their original meaning twisted or lost to suit the ideologue's purposes. The ideologues gain their power from the strength of those words which means that power can be taken away from them as well through the effort of taking back the language they misappropriated.
You are comparing two completely different things as if they are related.
Is there something about computers and AI that men have a knack for?

If NYC and SF are having crime issues it does not mean Greenwich, Connecticut should ramp up its police force to make up for NYCs and SFs deficiencies.

Boys are more interested in things, girls are more interested in people. Men preferentially grow up to work with things, women preferentially grow up to work with people. It's not about skill, its about what they instinctually find interesting.
And my answer depends. I think that its hard to be an effective engineering manager without first working hard at being an engineer and learning all about it. I think a prerequisite for that is someone who is naturally passionate about engineering. But then on top of that interpersonal skills are important. So you could say that on average men and women both have their respective advantageous biases for engineering management, but the pool from which they're drawn skews heavily male because not too many women go into engineering in the first place.
So: “Solve the problem at the left.”†
This means for most leverage, meaning best results with least cost and least waste, intervene in a system at the earliest stage that can make a difference.
† The metaphor is assuming production lines flow left to right. RTL cultures can say "solve the problem at the right" which has the advantage of both metaphor and pun!
