Do you believe women are just worse at working with technology? What other explanations could there be?

See https://www.aei.org/publication/2013-sat-test-results-show-that-a-huge-math-gender-gap-persists-with-a-32-point-advantage-for-high-school-boys/ … . Women get fewer tech jobs because fewer women in higher math.
-
and why do you think there are fewer women in math and science?
-
Lower scores on relevant exams + fewer decide to go into those professions.

but what causes the lower scores? Either women are inherently worse or something is discouraging them. Both are problematic.
-
My guess is a combination of both. Many studies show women more interested in people, men in abstract systems.
-
Sure. What about black people? Are they less technically inclined too?
