This is often repeated but the data is way more noisy than this comment implies. For example this chart for Asian countries does have Iran on one side and Japan on the other, but it also have Korea way higher than Japan and Cambodia way lower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_STEM_fields#/media/File:Proportion_of_female_graduates_A_Complex_Formula.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_STEM_fields#/media/Fi... In europe Norway has the fewest women in stem and Croatia the highest, but there are a lot of cases where the correlation isn't there. Hungary is very low and Luxembourg is very high. Ireland and Italy are high but Slovenia is low. https://ec.europa.eu/research/swafs/pdf/pub_gender_equality/she_figures_2015-final.pdf https://ec.europa.eu/research/swafs/pdf/pub_gender_equality/... Correlation definitely exists but there are a lot of other factors at play too.
