I'm sorry I'm not trying to turn Thanksgiving 2025 into Thanksgiving: The Gender Controversy, but this "oh, you have to be in the far upper right tail of the math ability distribution to go into engineering" is laughable on its face as soon as you look at real assessment data at scale

Men at lower-scoring tiers of engineering/math/science majors enjoy THE SAME EARNINGS BENEFITS as men at the upper tiers and women do not!

Again: flashing neon light pointing to "social effects"
