Occam’s Razor is finding the simplest explanation taking into consideration all the evidence. And it doesn’t discount analysis. I’ld say the ratio of males to females is important.</p>

I really doubt that. I’ve heard it being said numerous times, but it seems to be one of those things that people assume to be true. Women aren’t pushed to do badly in math. Just like guys aren’t pushed to do badly in humanities subjects. To say that girls are discouraged from doing well in math has nothing to back it up. People are usually told to do the best that they can in everything.</p>
<p>Guys are generally better at STEM, and girls are generally better at humanities.
The real question is, why do people look down on humanities so much? Why is logic so superior? Men and women generally tend to have different kinds of intelligence (though obviously, that doesn’t apply to everyone). Intelligence in logical reasoning isn’t better than all others.</p>
