I think there is an absence of women in math and science because women are more suited with language and art skills which do not apply in math or science. Men think more mathematically and logically and both of those do apply in math and science. It is a fact that men are more mathematical than women. It is also a fact that women are more artistic and usually express it more than men do.

I also think there are fewer women in math and science because women may not find professions involving math and science as fulfilling as men do. Men use math and science in many of their professions. Professions including construction, plumbing, mechanic, and electrician need mathematics skill. I think that women would look for a career that would use their language and artistic skills. Or maybe when they were young their parents told them that math and science were for men. Also, maybe in school women were not called upon in class which discouraging them so they didn't pursuing a career in math or science .
