I came from a country where there is 80/20 women/men ratio in it's engineering schools. In Iran girls are doing much better in school and engineering degree is super hot, as a results girls will enter universities way more than boys. All those graduated women that come out of school do very well shoulder to shoulder to their men schoolmates, in middle east where it's hard (for real) to be a women at workspace.

My take in United States culture is that young women are too afraid of looking nerdy if they go after math and engineering. Those who are brave enough to not care about stereotypes get pissed off by this kind of artificial "culture fixes".
