Not really a factor. This happens with basically every discipline, women just have lower uptake and interest, so who's going to train that?

Women haven't been culturally suppressed in the developed world for what... 50 years or so? It's long enough to realise where women are willing and competitive and it turns out the field isn't perfect parity with men.

Putting aside your comment about "suppression," which is not what I was talking about... whenever I expressed interest in traditionally masculine stuff, people often outright refused to teach me.

Putting aside my personal experience, children are not inherently predisposed to favor gendered toys but discrepencies between children favoring gendered toys still exist, society still encourages preferencial differences in everything from colors to games to sports, which results in statistical variations of participation. I didn't say it was malicious. I didn't say it was suppressive. It just is. I find it strange that you'd even try to argue against something so obvious.
