As I said earlier, the human species is sexually dimorphic. It has 2 sexes. There are acute differences in the brains of said sexes, mainly pertaining to them being basted in 1 or another hormone. Men and women tend to desire different styles of jobs, on average. Men tend to go for larger, high paying but risky jobs, while women have an average preference for stable modest jobs. This is not "inequality". It's human nature. It's physically impossible to have some 50/50 split of the sexes in every workplace on earth without removing the notion of choosing where you wish to work. Strictly trying to enforce quotas such as forced 50/50 isn't going to help anyone. Women have the CHOICE to enter into game development. They, on average CHOOSE not to. Women CHOOSE, more often then men to work in the field of healthcare. It's impossible to have mandatory equality in any workplace without removing choice. And if I were forced to choose I will take choice of workplace 100% of the time.

How can you tell that's biological?
This is anecdotal evidence here, so feel free to dismiss it, but this is what I noticed in high school;
There were two main lines, either you took the math-heavy course (it's called Pitkä/lyhyt matikka in Finnish), or one that had less math that allowed you to take other things.
This divided people into two groups.
And there were way less girls in the math-heavy group.
Because even boys who sucked at math took math because all their friends would. And girls who were good or average at math were more likely to take the course where their friends went.
Because we're talking about teenagers here.
I was always good at math and wanted to study natural sciences, so naturally I took the math-heavy one. (Despite being called things like a 'cheater' in elementary school because girls can't be good at math I guess.)
At least one of the girls in our social group who wasn't good at math and was more of an artist took that course for the sole reason her friend did.
Societal pressures exist.
'Men tend to go for the high paying but risky jobs'.
Like sewage workers, then? Men want to do that? Not that I'm saying sewage work in necessarily a bad choice of career, but if we're talking about 'bad jobs' that men want to do then I guess?
