There are many factors to consider in order to interpret the stats.

The data indicates that women are underrepresented in STEM field, but we can also argue that men are underrepresented in educational field. Why aren't there more women in fields like firefighters, oil rigs, dangerous jobs?

To generalize, men are more interested in things and engineering and women are more interested in people and relationship. But that doesn't mean their intelligences differ. Intelligence expresses itself in different ways.

If a little girl says to her parents that she likes math, it's not like her parents would say, "no, you can't like math, you should go play with your dolls, math is for boys".

I think they are also trying to use the same credentials to log in to accounts. I got an email from Epic Game saying there are too many failed login attempts, so it was suspended. Ironically, I don't even remember having one. So I logged into the account and made sure there none of the information on there were personal.
