Ms. Soh, you mention that as gender equity increases in the country, the gender gap in these fields should widen, however, at least in the US (could not find information for Canada), since 1965, the percentage of women getting bachelors degrees and PhDs in the STEM fields has increased, and there has been a 7 year percentage increase in women getting engineering degrees up until at least 2015. So how do you explain this? Is gender equity in the US decreasing? You also mention in this article that to suggest that culture has a greater impact on behaviour than biology is not true. Why is it not true? From what I understand, it has never been proven that biology has a greater impact on an individuals decisions and personality than environment. So it could be true. The percentage of women to men in undergraduate computer science programs in 1984-85 (in the US) was 37% and declined to 17.6% in 2010-11 but in other hard sciences the gap is decreasing. Maybe environment does play a big role.
