Up until relatively recently female expectations were culturally conditioned and they still are, but to a lesser extent. In the short term positive discrimination can change that culture of expectation. You will then find more females willing to express interest knowing that they can achieve what were stereotypical male roles.
This may not be popular amongst what you see as 'ladies' but it is progress towards equality of opportunity and achievement.
