That biological difference isn't the explanation for why more women are forced to leave STEM positions. It signals expectations within STEM positions that transform those biological differences into deciding factors; but the biological differences themselves aren't why women can't handle STEM positions. There's no reason why professionalism can't shape itself to meet these biological demands without sacrificing its gravity.
As for the quote you cited, she's saying it's an individual matter. Women choose to leave because of the large number of male voices; but the presence of those male voices isn't the structural problem. The problem is the demands placed on individuals that dictates whether or not they stay, as outlined in the Nature article. And because professionalism refuses to evolve, it tends to target women more harshly than men.
You're trying to make the presence of men into the structural issue, but that's not it; the structural issue is the workplace demands and their incompatibility with personal lifestyles. The attitude of women toward men in the workplace is a matter of personal preference, not the identification of the structural issue.
we find asymmetries in individuals’ willingness to venture into cross-cutting spaces, with conservatives more likely to follow media and political accounts classified as left-leaning than the reverse.
