And further: If the ratio didn't reach 50/50, what ratio would you predict is 'natural' for currently imbalanced fields/beliefs?
Replying to
That would be too hard to say alot would even out but some will still have major gaps

Depends on the field itself. I'd say for extremes maybe 80-20. For those moderately disparate: maybe 65-35, or 60-40?

The Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. According to the internet.

I think for STEM fields it is always going to vastly favor men. I have tried to get lots of girls interested in STEM degrees but none try.

Probably, at most like 35-65 (the lower percentage being the sex less inclined to choose such a career: women in tech, men in nursing, etc.)

Some will B, but most require skill that 1 sex excels at & then there are suicidal jobs (like Offshore oilwell worker) that will remain male

if by sexism you mean no social/cultural pressure whatsoever then it would be equal

The ratio would reflect personal interests and ambitions. We are free and mostly unencumbered.

Something hovering roughly at equal, but with margin for fact that when you roll a dice six times, it's unlikely to come up with each # once
