Sure but money has no color. Only skill required. If men gravitate to computing and coding and military, so be it. No amount of bullshit quota will change it. Men are not lining up to be nannies.
In short, it's because power replicates itself along demographic lines, and not necessarily maliciously. People tend to favor people like them and, whether it's intentional or not, white persons, black persons, brown persons, etc. are more likely to hire persons of their own ilk, all other things held equal.
Also, if we think that genetic intelligence does not vary along the lines races, which seems to be the case, then neither should employment representation. To that extent, underrepresentation is a symptom of something apparently unmeritocratic.
