To state my actual views here: I believe male and females are not 100% identical, overall, in their natural preferences. In a world where all sexism was eliminated and socialization was equal, I would be *shocked* if employment and gender makeup of all fields became equal. 1/

I believe, in general, men prefer systems and women prefer people. This is of course not absolute - there are many brilliant systems-oriented bio-women (I myself am more systems-oriented than most men), but I think the trend *overall* is innate and biological. 2/

There's also that men seem to be higher variance, from what I can tell - both more and less skilled (although on average there seems to be little or no difference). Thus, in the top (and bottom) 1% of skill of systems-oriented fields, I'd expect the vast majority to be male.
