The highest-IQ fields are dominated by men, the lowest by women.

Water is wet

Yet women will still complain about a wage gap despite choosing markedly lower paying jobs

Is it mildly concerning that the dumbest people around are teaching our young children?

its not when you consider the things they are teaching are the least important basic human functions of learning. I dont want to discredit the Elementary Educators because they also deal with a lot more external pressure than most.

2nd highest ranked that is female dominated - Anthropology and Archeology.

Archeology - harnessing women's innate ability to dig up the past.

If i had a shitty degree id more likely be unemployed than the female. they also have a better opportunity at obtaining said shitty degree.

But they deserve equal pay to men regardless.

Study is 20 years old. I'd be interested to see how the male to female ratio has changed in the stem fields since then.

For sure the ratio has changed. Anecdotally, when I was in industrial engineering I took an assortment of classes in each engineering discipline, and it seemed like the male to female ratio was pretty high in mechanical, electrical, and I guess chemical, with industrial and biological engineering having a lower male to female ratio. I think those two engineering fields have more medical and business (human-related) applications respectively than the others, and that’s probably why.

Are they including MDs in the "health and medical science" field?

That's probably an overly broad category that includes a bunch of medically related professions, like nursing and research positions.
