In American culture, the acceptance of women in the sciences (not involving health, psychology, or something along those lines) has a long way to go. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2004, and there was a noticable gap between male/female students in all my physics and astronomy classes, but not so in my math classes where it was about even.
And there were none in my geology classes. Which I thought was kind of strange, but all my Professors said very few women take any earth sciences classes.
A question to women: Is there something about physics or geology that doesn't interest most women?
