Yeah sorry Mr Pillay but that was actually a pretty dumbaf thing to say.
See this lovely lady here here name is Faviola Gianotti, she is a particle physicist and she is also the director of CERN.
Which means she is pretty much smarter and higher qualified than anyone at South African Institution of Civil Engineering.
Have a nice day.
And such a person would understand statistics and probability distributions and their implications, which is more than I can say about the people who are complaining about this.
This is such a graph that would explain such a person you mentioned.
Pillay, like James Damore was explaining why woman are less likely to do engineering than men when given the freedom to choose. He isn't saying that woman shouldn't do engineering. You and all the SJW who are complaining about this, are inferring an "ought" from the "is" these people are pointing out.
When you give woman more choice in what they can do, they end up doing more "stereotypically" female careers. When you give them less choice, they move away from the "stereotypes". Which means that if you SJW really want gender equality, you have to force woman to enter into careers that they don't want to do.

But go ahead and ignore the science behind this and substitute the feels.
