Or, just maybe, those stories about Scandinavia are a fig-leaf to justify discrimination. There's clear country-level differences in proportions of engineers(+scientists) in EU countries: https://www.trendingtopics.eu/bulgaria-with-the-2nd-largest-...

I would hesitate to advance any theories as to cause based on that data (e.g., Denmark - part of Scandinavia - is >50% and Finland - not part of Scandinavia but next to it - is <30%).

I'm basing this off departmental demographics for CS at Aarhus and Copenhagen Universities.

Scientists and engineers overall include a lot of disciplines that are not CS. Biology in particular is frequently majority female.
