It's not that/like/as there were...

Hello,

Could someone please comment on the below sentences? Which (one) of them are (is) least informal?

1. The computer science needs more women, but it's not that there haven't been some already.

2. The computer science needs more women, but it's not as there haven't been some already.

3. The computer science needs more women, but it's not like there haven't been some already.

Mny thanks for any help!

"computer science" doesn't take an article.

I'd say that the least informal is number 2 if it is corrected as follows:

Computer science needs more women, but it's not as though there haven't been some already.
