You acknowledge larger variant of intelligence in men. While the effects are negligible on the average, they are huge at the extreme, which explains more men in highly intellectual pursuits or highly stupid jobs.https://fare.livejournal.com/107175.html
There are large effects at the extremes. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say that not all the people working in tech industries have an IQ >150.
Even for an IQ of ~130 (top 2 percentile), the difference in variance between male and female implies that there should be twice as many men as women. Google engineering recruits are around ~140. Top engineers are >150 indeed. The difference is even more dramatic.
And then there is the matter of different preferences and interests by gender. Even at same IQ, most women are just not interested in the same pursuits as most men, and those differences are only more pronounced in highly specialized jobs, whether software engineering or HR.
Interestingly, large companies like Google can afford to skim the top of the small female software engineering talent pool while leaving other places of employment with fewer opportunities to lower their sex ratio. Egalitarian mandates would kill small companies.
