Sometimes, I really wish I could resort to feminist tactics and accuse men condescending to me of mansplaining and talking over my lived experience.
Can anything further be done with the statistics tho, is what I am asking. Certainly a lot can be done to discover whether discrimination is prevalent and how much role gender differences play.

Nested structural models like the one discussed in the paper Dr. Meager posted look promising. Further, we can point to audit studies (for example in which blinded auditions produced more female hires in an orchestra.) More can and is being done!
-
OK, well you lot can do that and let us know if you ever find a way to discover anything about the causes of the imbalance. I'm going to keep focusing on the social stuff and biological stuff.

With regard to social stuff you might want to check out Alesina, Giuliano, and Nunn’s (2013) paper that makes the case that widespread adoption of the plow might have instigated or deepened social norms that contribute to sex-based division of labor.

Hi. Sorry if you got caught up in my mass blocking & weren't 1 of the people going on & on at me. It doesn't look like you were. I got deluged & just blocked everyone who talked to me about statistics in the end to get my mentions back. I will unblock a load in a couple of days.
-
Hey I completely understand. I did kinda hop in there on the tail end and I totally get how frustrating those pile-ups in the mentions can be.
-
Thank you. :) Yeah, it had been going on for 16 hours by then & started with loons. They're still in my mentions but it's finally slowing down to about 5 a minute now. I blocked started blocking everyone. Thanks for the paper but my interest in statistics is minimal.

Yep it can be done but it is much harder than you'd think and might not work, which is what that whole paper is about!
-
Lots of exclamation marks! Sorry to have bothered you! I will go now!
-
You seem a little, well, upset. Maybe avoid discussing certain topics if you're sensitive enough to be offended by exclamation points?
-
I'm trying! Believe me I am. They won't go away.
