We know that women students and staff remain underrepresented in Higher Education STEM disciplines. Even in subjects where equivalent numbers of men and women participate, however, many women are still disadvantaged by everyday sexism. Our recent research found that women who study STEM subjects at undergraduate level in England were up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism. The main perpetrators of this sexism were not university staff, however, but were men STEM degree students.

      “Women earned 53% of STEM college degrees in 2018, smaller than their 58% share of all college degrees.” - Pew research

        Yeah, so you are wrong. That is not predominantly. That is in stem overall, in most stem subjects, they are underrepresented.

          As you said ‘there is a slight over-representation of women in STEM (degrees earned) overall’

          My statement was that there’s more women in stem at uni these days.

          These seem to align to me.
