The jump here in the data being displayed is that it is making a correlation between sex differences and bachelor's degree demographics. Very little in that rhetoric actually has logical sense such that we know that we are missing(usually) at least close to two decades of cultural and social conditioning before the bachelors degree. That's plenty of time to systematically condition women against specific fields.

One way to try and get around that issue may be to compare cultures with high Gender Equality Index scores or some similar metric versus those with lower scores but otherwise similar. Presumably the closer to parity those years before university are the more some other difference, if any, would be suggested.
