Because it's a freaking lousy career that more women than men are smart enough to stay out of: http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science ?

Please read the study, instead of making up rationalizations to avoid dealing with issues of stereotypes, gender bias, and the climate of science and engineering departments in colleges and universities. http://www.aauw.org/research/upload/whysofew.pdf

If, as I claim, it's a bad career, shouldn't those discriminating against women in university STEM careers be praised instead of condemned ^_^? The sooner someone bails out, the better, if this thesis is correct.

(I.e. it would be a lot more productive if you were to address my point instead of totally ignoring it.)
