I agree with most of what you said, but I think it's odd to suggest that STEM isn't work that women actually like to do. I seriously doubt there's anything hard-wired into women's minds that disincline them toward math and engineering and such - at least no more than for humans in general. I find it far more likely that the lack of women in these fields is because it's traditionally "men's territory", and women, even if inclined to partake, feel out of place (or are MADE to feel out of place by close-minded men).

The recent push to try to get women into STEM is not to try to make them "like men", but to eliminate the ridiculous notion that STEM is a "men" thing in the first place.
