In reverse, the same is true for such professions as teaching and nursing. Yes there have been "improvements" with males joining those professions but they are still heavily weighted female despite efforts to do otherwise.

In the end, there are almost always going to be professions and avocations that have some level of "sexism" to them, not everything can split directly proportionately along certain lines. I know it's a bit old school but it seems we should be focusing on people that want to do the job/hobby and not focusing on what type of people want to participate.

I know. I just wanted to bust his balls for stereotyping.
