There are even less women in construction or waste management. But we don't hear as many complains there. My guess? Those jobs are known to be hard. STEM seem like a breeze from outside (that's just office work) but when you work there you realize it may not be physicaly hard but the stress is there. So people who value a better work-life balance decide to get out. People who have the option to decide to not work will do it. The flip-side of the gender role is the number of articles lately shaming young males who decide to work part-time and enjoy life instead of working for a family. Also, the number of high achieving women who complain about the lack of available good men. Marrying down? That's for the males.
