You know what, let's actually check in the most scientific way possible: post PhD academics, are you part of the "won't make it in science" club? (Sorry, PhD students and scientists outside academia, I know you're there!)

After undergrad things changed and I had much better skills, but I do wish I had them taught to me from high-school like a lot of UK kids had. I can totally see somebody who thought I was British-educated could have thought I was crap back then.

During my undergrad is probably the period in my life I was told I was "stupid" (literally that word or just "women aren't as good at men at maths/compsci/programming") the most. Probably about once a week by another person on the same course, which was 90% men.

I never believed it, but I did become convinced compsci was not a healthy environment for me. And I think that has to be taken into account when women (or anybody) leaves via a leaky pipeline. They are often making the right decision for them given toxic environment.
