Yes, most women can't make the cut. Societal pressure pushes them into backing out, and tells them they should work with people rather than numbers. Expectations for them to make it in STEM fields are low, and they are encouraged to the classic "women should be secretaries, teachers and waitresses." No where did I claim that inability stemmed from biology, it stems from current norms in society. Which again, I have said multiple times, need to be changed.
Except that many women, when they put their middle finger up to gender roles, can make the cut, as easily as men, so your "women can't make the cut" is bullshit and only serving to discourage women from attempting the join the STEM fields. So as much as you say you believe we need change, the words you use are doing the exact opposite of what you want.
