e.g.

* Men face enormous pressure to make lots of money; they're far more likely to choose well-paying careers. You might think that's jacked up, but it's not really Alzheimer's Society's fault.

* Women are more likely to choose to interrupt their careers when they have children. Now, this one's tricky: maybe they do it because they want to – great! But maybe this is because of the gender pay gap, or social pressure. Or... Again, though, maybe not AS' fault.

@ech @m1ke @molly0xfff There's a reason why I said 41%. 21% - okay, that's possible. But 41%? For an organization called "Cathedral Schools Trust", so not exactly a garage with women in the office and men on the workshop floor? I find it *very* hard to believe there isn't a "because we can get away with it" among the reasons.

It's harder than making a snarky bot, but this might be something one could get to the bottom of if one was interested.

I suspect for the school you mention it has to do with how crappy teacher pay is, but that's just a guess. (See my first bullet point.)
