There are women who've been in the field a very long time but the tend to be extreme outliers both in how clever they are and the sort of logic display have as individuals. The topics are incredibly difficult even for most men to get their head around requiring a type of thinking which rare among women, as men and women evolved somewhat separately women tend to be focussed on people and emotional understanding which ironically makes them good fits for the corporate and academic world were once the in a critical mass they control the politics and culture even is usually not directly, they also seem to be under a lot of pressure to perform academically as a group, the effects of which I have no idea about, but I have certainly bumped into plenty who are mentally under extreme stress, only understand the test component of a subject and have difficulty applying critical logic to a subject which isn't off a formula (usually just the sociological perspective of whatever it is, with a heavy dose of not understanding the criticisms can be invalid and have to be broken down the same way as what you are targeting). Male spaces become very competitive in short order and don't suffer fools lightly, which means that people who don't cut it get no respect, this is the antithesis of what women tend to think healthy spaces are and it's true they can be toxic (especially if the topic is not grounded in reality or it's filled with immature men who want to prove themselves), but they also tend to bring results quickly with low resource thresholds and put ideas through the wringer a lot more mercilessly, anyone who's worked in a female orientated space will also be able to tell you how toxic they can easily become and how disingenuous the culture most often is, with people who are dishonest to save each others feelings. It's said than men are object focused and women people and though I think that's an oversimplification you can see how it applies to these kinds of subjects. How structures operate is quite fascinating an it's a shame how poor the research so far on it has been, it will probably be necessary for that to change given the issues that are inbound for our society.
