“Are women less capable of doing tech on a high level? “
Being capable and being willing to throw your heart and soul into something and to work nights and weekends on long projects are two different things. In my decades in IT, few women are willing to do the later and that does change their value to their employers.
No amount of ideology or good wishes can alter those facts. When people do, only bad things happen.

but, but, on TV commercials we see women staying at the office after closing, and doing work related travelling, leaving the Mr. at home to fend for the family, which the TV commercials also tell us he can’t even do for himself, much less the kids, without blowing the house to smithereens...and then phoning the wife and begging her to come home...
I work where I do for less pay than I would get elsewhere, but I can leave at 5 and don’t have to monitor email or software applications after hours (although I do during peak seasons), and have my weekends free for other things.
I could make 3X of what I do now, but then i would have to have more devotion to it after normal working hours.
