Neither study is a safe default as that would mean there would be an abundance of people that actually finished studying physics or computer science. The internet might heavily distorts reality here. The standard academic career of today is still economics and chosen by men and women in rather similar amounts. I heard some guys saying they chose economics for the girls, but I think this is an edge case... It is true that few men go into teaching and few women into computer science. But I don't think you should force people or even worse, attest discrimination. Surprisingly mostly men get implicated, so much about sexism, so I also would dispute this comment: > Right now we are often accidentially prefering less qualified people just because they are white or men I don't believe being white nets you anything, on the contrary. Educated parents are indeed a huge advantage but that certainly isn't for the "system" to fix, even if it could do that somehow.
