Not saying that that isn't a problem or that STEM diversity is not a problem, but the larger overarching problem is the gender pay gap. The reason people are pushing for more women (and more of everyone) in engineering is that engineering is one of the highest paid professions (Most of the other highest paid professions are also dominated by men). If salaries were swapped, then there probably would be a large push for men in hairdressing.
