Pretty sure that in all those cases 10-20% of software engineers are women and you get 50% because in other jobs (marketing, hr) 80% are women.

You would have a point about discrimination if 50% of applicants had women but e.g. only 15% of those were accepted.

This data is not published but I highly suspect that 15% of applicants included a woman and 15% were funded.

Ok?

> 15% of the companies have a woman founder and 9% of the founders are women.

Can I get a source on this please? In particular I would be curious about what is the breakdown in the % of female engineers and female management in Meta.

50% of the people on the planet are women, but that is a meaningless statistic because we are specifically talking about tech.

Does women include trans people?
