Why would representation be an issue? You make it sound like there are no women at all in male-dominated fields, but the gender ratio lies around the 30% mark. So although they are not the majority, nobody will bat an eye that a mathematician or a physicist is a woman. If by representation you mean support, women have way more support than men in terms of funding and ease to get fixed positions.

And frankly I do not think young people are making career decisions based on representation. That's more of an academic's way to look at life.




"You make it sound like there are no women at all in male-dominated fields"

Where in their statement did they make that claim?

You're inventing arguments.
