Psychology is a field that, at least in recent years (France and the UK, IME), leans heavily female. I wonder why, although the male urge to be “self-reliant” sometimes to the point of self harm might play a part. Not that I’m complaining, but my masters had a crazy ratio (3 guys to 25+ women) and all but one teacher were women as well, lol.
Even though we try to be gender neutral, It mostly seemed men take engineering, maths, sciences, and women often take English Lit and Psychology. Its actually become a bit of aproblems as there are too many psychology students looking for jobs in that field and end up doing other work because they can’t find a job in it.
