Wage gap has been proven to be a myth. What exists is a "earning gap". Men earn more because they put in longer hours, on average. The only industry that has a demonstrably huge wage gap is modeling (and porn), where female models make orders of magnitude more money than male models.
Regarding representation, no one is forcing women out of tech industry. There are fewer women in tech, because fewer women choose to study STEM in college. Also, why don't women ask for "equal representation" in other industries which are male-dominated like garbage collectors, sewage workers etc.
