I generally attempt to stay out of these discussions, but I believe the thinking is "If genders are equal and can do things as well as one another in any field, any large discrepancies in gender distribution can often signify some level of sexism".

A recent study found exactly the opposite of what you believe[1].

"What we found is that in communities that had a higher percentage of women in the labor force who are working in science, technology, engineering and math, that in those schools, girls were as likely as boys to take physics, or even more likely."

May there be more like you.
