In pharmacy, there is a 70% female/30% male split. That's not because males are underrepresented or discriminated against in the field, but because males are less interested in pharmacy in general. How do you know that is not the same case for STEM? Maybe females are simply less interested in STEM than males. Not every profession has a 50/50 split, and just because they don't doesn't mean they are discriminating against one gender. Females and males could just have different career preferences.
