Your Yale link is nonsense as I think you're aware. Your original link shows a closer stat to reality though it's based on 2020 data - currently stem is predominantly female.

Interesting; you have to dig past the usual misandry sites to find an impartial source but Pew research found 53% of stem graduates female in 2018 and rising.

You can also just check unis individually.
Well I mean, do you read the links you provide?
There's where your 50% comes from. And as you can see, your link also aligns with the 38.6% previously mentioned.
See? Now was that hard? See how once you explained yourself we could clear up the confusion you were having? Nothing wrong with that, easy to be confused by the various terms that are being tossed around.
Nah you're still being disingenuous. The stats don't lie - even the stats you provided 😂.
I would have thought you'd be happy to see stem taken over by women. Though if you were actually interested in equality you'd also be worried about why men aren't applying. That's a real problem - for women too.
I mean you provided those last stats I just gave. That's literally taken from your link.
I think you're conflating how I feel to facts. Fact is the 38.6% figure I quoted from your article. How I feel about it or the price of gasoline is notwithstanding.
I mean, at this point you're just cherry picking and not doing all that well with it. As indicated from, again YOUR source.
That lines up with the whole thing I had mentioned here. You keep wishing otherwise, but you also keep providing evidence to the contrary.
So I mean at some point I guess you'll read your own sources OR you won't. But the sources you keep providing agree with the original statement that women are under represented in traditional STEM studies. So I mean you square that with yourself however you want.
Dude is crying about misandry. 🎻

"Women earned 53% of STEM college degrees in 2018, smaller than their 58% share of all college degrees." - Pew research
Yeah, so you are wrong. That is not predominantly. That is in stem overall, in most stem subjects, they are underrepresented.
As you said 'there is a slight over-representation of women in STEM (degrees earned) overall'
My statement was that there's more women in stem at uni these days.
These seem to align to me.
