Are these claims actually true? I wasn’t sure, so I looked at the 2013 Digest of Education Statistics (which has data through 2011—more recent stuff is available, but I’m posting from the back row of a meeting, and so don’t really have the chance to do a proper google for that), and I got the following for degrees awarded by sex:
[ul]
[]Engineering, yes, very male-dominated, at 17.5% (though fields of engineering differ, and I don’t have that level of granularity at hand)
[]Not in the original list, but comp sci is the only other heavily male-dominated field, with 18.2% awarded to women
[]The physical sciences, male-dominated but not overwhelmingly so, at 40.1% awarded to women
[]Math (combined with statistics), borderline male-dominated, at 43.1% awarded to women
[li]Business, near parity, with 48.2% awarded to women[/li][/ul]
TL;DR: Overwhelmingly? Engineering and comp sci, sure. The rest? Not so much.
