Hrmph. An engineering program might be composed of 95% males. That doesn't mean that most men are engineers or engineers in training. That's not the case at all.

Things don't have to apply to all men/women in order for things to be very lopsided.

I'm not asking why most engineers are men. I'm asking why your engineering program is 95% men. And if your argument is that, well, all hot women aren't engineers so almost no women are engineers, I'm going to raise eyebrows.

No. Your whole argument hinges on pointing out that a lot of women don't fit the mold of being Peak Attractive. I pointed out how that is irrelevant since it's not like we're talking about 90% of women to begin with.
