The person you are replying to is clearly a troll, but I would like to question the logic you have about why STEM is 90%.

The list of academic disciplines which has over 90% of participants in a single gender is quite long, with only a minor few topics which has a balanced 50%/50%. In Sweden, only about 10% of work professions are considered to have a fair balanced between the genders, and on university level, female students outnumber male students by 2:1 and are the dominating group in every disciplines except STEM.

Should we argue that the primary reason for this is harassment, discrimination, and oppression?
