This is silly.

Ukraine have more women than men in term of sex ratio. So of course there is more phd awarded to women than men.

There are tons of debates on how there are less female in engineering and such but I have yet to see a reason why that is. It could be anything including something innoculous. If there is a systematically evil group that is trying to prevent women from going into CS then I am all for stopping them. But if because the women themselves just chose to do other things than CS than who am I to try to change their mind?



I doubt there is a major group of deliberately evil people. But there are unconscious biases that we pretty well documented, and should be fought just as much. That's a third option between your two.


I find it funny that nobody is pushing for more women in coal mining and truck driving.
