The latest statistics in the US talk of a 60% gap (i.e. 20% vs 80% female andmale enrollments respectively). Curiously enough, Puerto Rico is the one location in the Westernworld where a very rigorous 5-year engineering school attracts roughly the same female andmale enrollments to any engineering area, and significantly more females than males toIndustrial Engineering in particular.

They coined the now-famous term "chilly classroom climate"to refer to the effects that male-dominated university campuses have on undergraduate women.They argued that male professors' use of sexist humor, belittling albeit bantering commentsabout women's intellectual abilities, and their use of "he" to refer to scholars in their fields canconsiderably dampen women's career aspirations.
