Same in Canada
It's the same over on this side of the pond.
Two of my friends are recent university grads of Physics-engineering.
And the national trend in University as a whole is inching toward 60/40 women/men. But in the high math/science/engineering it is male dominated.
On the maintenance side in my tech school it was 96% male for aircraft maintenance.
And out in industry it's the same. I know two female AMEs that work on helicopters and they are there because they are just as good as the next 'guy'. There is definitely no discrimination issues. Just the way it works out.
Girlfriend's mom teaches nursing. She can count the number of guys on one hand out of 200 students.
That's life. Equality is here! Everybody has a fair shake!
It has gone to far actually. Try being an able-bodied fit young white male applying to university......the deck is stacked against you. All to make one more bleeding heart liberal feel less guilty about being a middle class white suburbanite.
