Women make up 51% of the population. ∴ Our industry is ignoring half the talent.

You implied that genders are represented equally in all fields of study, but that certainly wasn't true in my education (CS + EE). So assuming a bell curve of talent, your ideal team would have more men than women.

No. I suggest that genders should be represented equally in all fields of study.
