RE: Why are there significantly less women in S.T.E.M fields, what we can do to help

I heard once that women are generally less good at certain things, like 3D visualisation and such. But I heard more recently the idea that if there are trends like this, it could be down to gender stereotyping and pushing boys more in academic fields than girls. As sadly mentioned above by Alex.
