I think this was also a thing in Soviet Russia (in Soviet Russia, gender issues study you!). Women became MDs in large numbers and men stopped doing so. Both the status and pay for MDs declined dramatically. Of course, pay issues in the Soviet Union had a number of factors affecting them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Just anecdata, but I'm sure I'm seeing more women in electrical engineering than I did a decade ago.

Hey now, Female representation at a national level in the U.S. only puts us at 78th place in the World, tied with Turkmenistan. That's better than North Korea at 83rd and if you listen to North Korea's press (and only their press) they are the greatest country in the world.
With a little improvement, we could surpass the United Arab Emirates.

I have noticed that I'm dealing with more women in tech support than I did nearly ten years ago. Though I still regularly talk to people who assume I'm a man, but not as often. The people calling in to get help are as likely to be women, as well. The biggest divide is age in the industry I'm working with, the older insurance and construction people just purely hate working with computers and don't seem to care what the gender is of the person helping. They'd be happy to work with a trained cormorant if it would get their computers working.

Gah, can anyone familiar with Britain in the 80s help my failing memory? What was the name of the demographic kinda similar to preppies?
