Women say, over and over, they would like more access to these fields, but they are discouraged from pursuing them, they are harassed, and they are discriminated against, and at some point its easier to go into teaching or family law or pediatrics where you don't have to deal with asshole brogrammers or litigators or surgeons all day. And instead of leaders saying, hey, we're probably missing out on a lot of great talent (getting the top 10% of men and top 10% of women is better than getting the top 20% of men, after all)--maybe we should listen to what the women are saying and think about whether we should try and change the way we do things to maximize the talent pool, all we hear is "it's just about different interests" and everyone carries on with the status quo.

So isnt' this a great business opportunity? If law firms are providing a hostile work environment for women in certain practice areas, why doesn't a women start up a firm to compete against them, and provide a better work environment? Same with the technology industry -- why don't more women start firms and ensure this isn't the case?

It seems like they'd do better than those firms that are discriminating or providing a hostile work environment, since a happy worker is going to be more productive. Heck, they could even drive those other firms out of business!
