Perhaps our premature ejaculation In Afghanistan is merely symbolic of the fact that we have over corrected for toxic masculinity.

If we go more into detail of STEM, its beef is engineering and computer science. Men account for their 80% of graduation, women only 20%.
The data I am using is from 2016, a few years old. But this pattern - in which females received higher percentages of bachelor’s degrees overall but lower percentages of bachelor’s degrees in STEM fields, was observed across all the time, across country/culture and racial/ethnic groups. When I was undergraduate in 1980s' in China, my field (STEM) in my class only had 7 women out of total 64 students. The dept chair hailed our class as the best freshmen class in last 4 years in term of women/men ratio. But if you go to Non-Stem field, such as literature or English, the reverse was true. It is just that because China limited its Non-STEM field enrollment, the percentage of total Non-STEM students is much lower than that of U.S.
I have no opinion on Business (finance, marketing...) field because it was new in China in my college days and it belonged to post-graduate education then.
I personally would like to see financial aid/loans based on college major. STEM degrees (and perhaps a few others such as Finance, Nursing, etc.) aid should cover more than philosophy or gender studies.
Need more people with STEM degrees for the future competitiveness of the country.
Incentivize the need!
