Sure, society has loads of examples of jobs being divided up along gender lines, and of unfairness against men too.

But does that mean we can't even talk about why our profession in particular attracts so few women, while lots of other "knowledge worker" professions are more balanced? Do we have to resolve all other fairness issues first, before we can even talk about it?

I think it's an interesting topic and that the hostility and derisiveness that usually surrounds these articles are unjustified.
