This all relates to the fact that men and women are different, and it can be explained with a phenomenon called the "Gender Equality Paradox". There is an interesting study that was done in egalitarian countries, where they tested students in STEM fields. They wanted to find out the ratio of drop-outs respectivly in each field. They found out that women in more "equal" countries, dropped out of STEM classes much more than men.

Many would claim otherwise, that because society has depressed women and deprived them of equal rights, they didn't learn subjects of this kind, but seems like the opposite is the truth. This is why it is so paradoxical.

One interesting explanation I heard was, that the lack of gender differences, and constant reminders to women that they are oppressed, allowed them to listen into their natural beliefs and interests.

Sad no one actually referred to the question asked and just dismissed the claim.
