In the US nearly 60% of graduate students taking higher degrees are women. Psychology and medicine is very well represented. So engineering has fewer women. What is the goal to eliminate men from higher education.
Struggling to find the point. Article presents no data as to whether women are or aren't working hard, no data on how that impacts them. It's just "everyone thinks this" and "people feel that". The implication seems to be if women arent 50% in every field there is a problem. Should people not work hard? The title implies that.
