The paper clearly does *not* say "these countries are equal" (your 
Strawman) it says "the more equal a country is, the fewer women go into 
STEM" and it has over 400,000 data points behind that assertion.
If you can prove they are biased, you are encouraged to get a 
peer-reviewed paper published to that effect - it would likely set you 
onto a career in either psychology or gender studies.

I'm sorry, but if you're going to dismiss a peer-reviewed scientific 
paper out of hand without reading it because it disagrees with your 
world-views there's no point in continuing this conversation.
I would also suggest it's worth reading:
