This is really strange reasoning: "people claim that in field X, group Y doesn't enter for reason Z. Therefore if in field A group B isn't entering it MUST be for reason Z, and couldn't possibly be for another reason".

The actual logical problem I was pointing out was in tptacek’s implied argument that “if a field is 80+% one gender, the only possible explanation is that the dominant gender is gatekeeping the minority gender”.

If you want to make the argument that there are structure impediments to men becoming vets, I'm receptive.

The time for academic structural arguments is over. Radical action is required.
This calls for comprehensive DEI workshops aimed at de-centering the matriarchal aggression of the vet school administrations. Think of the puppies!

Given that the gender imbalance in physics/engineering/CS is always blamed on men pressuring women against participating, one wonders, what kind of monstrous women are gatekeeping the veterinary field, and what kind of harassment are they inflicting on men who try to participate?
