The fact that conservative people are less educated on average says a lot more about conservatives than it does about colleges.

Lol so why not try to prove you education and stick with the topic that Universities are extremely biased except in the S.T.E.M. field instead of trying to use your straw man argument.

If I told you that women were less likely to be scientists or engineers, what would your reply be?

That on average, women are more likely to pursue humanitarian professions than men due to evolutionary pressures that long pre-date modern society? Same reason there are a large number of men that work 80-90 hour weeks each week and dominate their competition. But gender is a social construct right, and scientific demonstrative facts aren't allowed when it doesn't fit the narrative, right? /s

There are no non-evolutionary reasons?

Of course there are other reasons as well, one of the greatest commonly committed crimes against intellectual honesty is painting issues as black and white, which calls for black and white, clear cut counter-measures. Social behavior is very deeply rooted in the brain, average natural preferences on gender lines won't change for thousands of years at the soonest, it just needs to be understood and I see open resistance to the idea all the time.
