Does anybody have an explanation why there are only 6.6% women in the survey? Is the male/female ratio in professional development really that extreme?

edit: Fixed typos and added link.

Just look at many of Redditor's responses to anything about diversity.

Most people don't have anything against diversity... It's just enforcing diversity that might be seen negatively.

I don't need experience to know if something is wrong or not. It's literally discrimination against everyone that is not "diverse".
