Almost all of the differences between men and women in the workforce comes down to the level of interest in the work itself, which again I believe goes back to evolutionary and sexual pressure on ancient humans. Men historically being the providers we have a natural affinity towards doing something resulting in a greater interest in perfecting our craft. Women on the other hand were caregivers, and naturally have more of an affinity towards taking care of their family, and less towards perfecting their craft. Over the course of a career this will result in more men climbing the career latter than women.
Working in engineering, there are certain areas where women accel, and other areas they do poorly at compared to men. Women tend to be pretty good at drafting, writing specs and reviewing. However, I've rarely met a woman who can see a grade on the ground or level. It's a learned skill, some guys have a knack for it and pick it up instantly, some men struggle, but very few women can look at a grade and say, Yep that's 2%.
