I later clarified that I don't discard that line of reasoning.

I will further clarify that I don't personally think this is the case though. Roughly 30% more women are attending tertiary education than men (at least in the US and other "western world" nations) and through affirmative action they even have the upper hand in being biased in favor of further education [0].

- switchbak 11y agoI imagine it will - over a very long term. And I imagine faculties like CS will take even longer to evolve, but will eventually follow the same pattern. When there's such a divergence in post-secondary attendance (as there apparently is), I think the effects are somewhat unavoidable.
