How do YOU explain why the ratio of women to men in STEM fields is abysmally low?

Because STEM is filled with 'sexist pigs' so women avoid it?

Or because women are wired differently?

How long have you been in the STEM field? I've got 25 years. My observation is that the field is in fact fairly filled with sexist pigs.
