How many women get degrees in Math, Comp Sci, Engineering, or Physics?
In my experience: very few, comparatively. {In my opinion this is because women generally think differently than men, and the difference is one that manifests itself here: the subjects here lend themselves to the male mode of thought far more than female. [Yes, I'm using generalities.]}
Back a hundred years the same was true about the Lawyer profession; now not so much. I think one of the defining characteristics of the Hard Sciences that Law had is that of Logic. Law has lost its dependence on logic: for example the NM State Constitution specifically prohibits law abridging the right of the citizen to carry for security and defense [Art II, Sec 6] as well as prohibiting counties & municipalities from regulating "in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms"; however the State, County, and City courts I'm familiar with all prohibit firearms saying "violators will be prosecuted [by law]" -- All my efforts to bring this Constitutional issue up are deflected with excuses. {This is an issue because people not accused of any crime may be compelled to appear in court: jurors and witnesses.}
Now; gut check: what was your reaction to the last part of the previous paragraph? Was it a "yeah, that doesn't fit" OR "What!? you cant take guns int courthouses!!"?
Women in these fields are growing..

"Twenty to 30 years ago, biology was mainly male," said Andresse St. Rose, senior researcher for the American Association of University Women. "Today women earn the majority of bachelor's and master's and about half of the [doctoral] degrees in biology."
The biggest jump has been in the percentage of chemists, which climbed from 8 percent to 32 percent during the same period, data show.
About 20 years ago, when George Graham was an engineering student, there was maybe one woman in his classes, he said. Now, women make up to 30 or 40 percent of some of the engineering classes the mechanical engineer teaches as director of the Wacker Institute at Chattanooga State Community College.
