No, I actually agree with you (and science supports) that
some of it can be attributed to mere exposure. But there are very real, very scientific reasons that women pursue aviation (and other similar STEM career fields) at astronomically lower rates than men. The push for representative equality (M vs F) in this industry is silly, IMO. It will never come close to happening, and it won't have anything to do with there being some mythical barriers preventing women from entry.
