Good luck getting anyone on hn to consider that just maybe colleges being often openly hoatile towards men might drive them elsewhere

Do you think that when women were under-represented it was because they were plumbers or climbing telephone poles? Because that's the only way your suggestion makes sense.

They weren't working at all.

That is not actually true. The all women are stay at home thing was never true. Society always had women who worked, because they are unmarried, husband is alcoholic, husband died, husband does not earn all that much.

Systemic misogyny?

I am having trouble coming up with a single high paying, no degree required job that is majority female. Please let me know if I am missing some.

It does not need to be majority female - I'd say 30% female is more than enough to consider a job being accepting of women. But okay:

"The average Plumber salary in the United States is $58,659" - https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/plumber-sal...

"The national average salary for Human Resources is $65,314 per year in United States." - https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/human-resources-salary-SR...

"Forbes cited HR Manager as a “best paying job for women” in 2011, with over 70 percent of the profession dominated by females." - https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2012/07/11/why-human-res...

"At the administrative level, 30 percent of human resources assistants had an associate degree as of 2013, 26 percent had a high school diploma and 21 percent had at least one year of college experience" - https://work.chron.com/education-requirements-human-resource...

Does the average HR manager not have a college degree?
