Outside of a few niches like computer science this is increasingly true in the US as well AFAIK.

Interesting how computer science is an outlier here when (IIRC) the first programmers were women.

At least math being outlier "makes sense".

I blame (in no small part) Hollywood and movies like Jurassic Park for pushing stereotypes about the field being dominated by creepy, obese, and gross "computer nerds."
