Not sure what you mean here.

Basically, I was comparing an example where the percentage of male teachers is lower when comparing preschool teachers versus public school teachers in general, like you mentioned the lower percentage of female developers contributing to open source software versus the percentage of female developers throughout the industry.

Even if a male preschool teacher self-reported perceived bias against him, that doesn't necessarily mean that there's general trend of bias throughout the area. Just like a female self reporting bias they perceived for a particular open source project doesn't mean that there's a general of bias in that area.
