One way to easily corroborate this hypothesis is to check the acceptance rates of men and women that apply for STEM fields. This reminds me of the UC Berkeley lawsuit, where it was found that women were more likely to be accepted into almost any department, and that women were less likely to be accepted overall because they overwhelmingly applied to more competitive departments. The numbers are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox#UC_Berkeley_gender_bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox#UC_Berkele... . The wiki article doesn't list the names of each department, but it's worth noting that every single department with a majority of men (think: STEM) is more likely to accept any given woman than any given man.
