I spent every week of my college career wishing I could be so privileged as to be a woman in STEM. They are preferenced in literally every single thing that involves a selection, and on top of that they get access to tens of thousands of dollars of financial aid only available to women. There are sparse few (read:none) equivalents for young men.

Not three days ago I was four feet from the woman that runs my entire division at a large financial institution, who complained that there were far too many men in our SOC last time she was there. This time she was quite chuffed that we had hired two more ladies - after silently changing our hiring criteria to filter out any men.
