It's because whatever men does, women tend to do it and that's just equal.
Yeah, the trend has been for women to be like men (and vice versa, if Hollywood is to be believed), which I find to be unfortunate--but that's another story.
Men have traditionally been the risk takers, the pioneers, which is why so many companies have been founded by men. Take a look at bitcoin's history, too: I haven't read about any early players that were women, and the creation and investment in cryptocurrency was an enormous risk back in 2009-10.
But today? Women have practically no barriers if they want to be entrepreneurs (or anything else for that matter). Then again, I can't speak for venture capitalists and whoever else an entrepreneur has to deal with to get his/her project off the ground. What I do know is that attitudes toward women in business have changed dramatically since at least the 1960s. There are women CEOs, board members, managers, you name it, and companies are practically fighting each other trying to hire women. Their reasons might be suspect, but that's the way it is.
So yeah, I'd say it's up to women themselves if they want to do what men have traditionally done.
You've said it right. True that before, there was disbelief about the capacity of women but today, we're seeing women being empowered in different industries and career paths.
Things really have changed today.
Many women are accelerating in their chosen fields and the same as men, there's equality now and no bias towards their capability of theirs but, we can't do nothing with those countries that still has a huge gap being portrayed by men on their countries towards women.
