Doesn't this explanation rather rob women of agency ?

If you feel annoyed at the universe for robbing women of agency in this instance, go ahead. The universe doesn't care.

I was complaining about you, not the Universe. If your model of reality includes "women are automatons" as a feature, your model is not very likely to be correct.

"Agency" in this sense (social and moral agency, I'd call it) obviously =/= "Libertarian free will".
