I wonder, why many think that equality should result in 50:50 distribution.


I also wonder, as usually slightly more women live in a country than man, and woman have a slightly longer expected lifespan, which are effects which would distort the distribution.


Law of large numbers.


Assuming both genders are equally talented at a skill, and both genders equally enjoy a skill.

We can both offer equal opportunities, and realize different genders want different things out of a job.


That bank experience shows that women from India do show equal skills in IT. So the difference comes not from gender but from other things.
