re: What should we make from this graph? (college degrees)

I bet a graph like this for men would be similar

This chart is for both sexes.

Take a look at the x axis. It's percentage of women in the major. The balance is men. The higher IQ majors are majority men, which is the controversy it's aiming to show.

Here's the interactive version with all data labels

All that aside, I believe women are just as intelligent as men but choose other careers for social reasons. Most of the female engineers that I've worked with ultimately moved into positions in purchasing, logistics, sales etc. as soon as they started families. All but 2 of them married an operator or Itech

Another anecdote, the top graduate of my class was female with a 4.0. Her first job out of college was as a mortgage lender. She's never worked a day as an engineer and I doubt she recommends the curriculum to little girls.
