Short answer to the thread title: no, as long as there are similar opportunities for males (having to start a new team does not count as a "similar opportunity").

I was going to pepper this post with statistics from various US & European studies on gender balance in STEM education, and Engineering in particular, but they all show the same trend, so I'll just summarize.
While the percentage of women earning Bachelor degrees in Engineering has increased over the past 3 decades (roughly doubling), there is still a minority (~20%) female enrollment in Engineering degrees. However this is within a broader trend of a declining number of Engineering degrees awarded.
So perhaps, to poorly paraphrase the great Dave Lavery and others, we shouldn't be spending out time focusing on how to split the small pie we have in front of us, but on how to make the pie much bigger.

Mandatory class war comment.
One set of data I couldn't easily locate was a reliable analysis of socioeconomic status on STEM education. But I would hazard that a female from a wealthy family attending a private girls' school has significantly more likelihood of attending college and completing a STEM degree than almost any "privileged" white male from the other end of the socio-economic spectrum.
