Not sure what you are talking about. In India. Mechanical engineering sees least enrollment from women. Many times there no girls in the Mech eng class at all. Or worse, 1 or 2 who go and tell other girls not to take up Mech ever. The issue isn't discrimination at all. You regularly have to do physically demanding work. Welding, Metal cutting work with a myriad other stuff. Of course you may argue Women do physically demanding work all the time. But the point is such women come from a background of poverty which demands such a lifestyle. If you come from anywhere a above lower-middle class lifestyle the overall lifestyle of your family never prepares you for this. I don't care how many lego sets you buy for your girl. Nothing prepares for you for a certain things.
