Well that’s not true, because it’s pretty easy to imagine that once we get more women in the field through the pipeline, the environment becomes better for them (as they will represent a higher % of the “environment”) so the attrition rate should naturally drop.

Also AFAIK in general women leave fields more than men, because it is more typical for the woman to stay at home once they have a child. I would like to see the numbers relative to other fields.
