That's a different sort of perspective than what I'm used to these days, given all the diversity and inclusion initiatives to get more women into tech education and careers. Maybe it's just the STEM field, but women have been traditionally underrepresented there and the recent efforts aim to change this.
Personally, I don't think men or women are valued differently; they've just tended to choose different careers, based on their respective talents and abilities. There were also societal pressures. All of this is certainly changing these days.
