Eh, could be lots of things. Could be where you are, or the field doesn't have the same level of competition and male dominance.

Yeah. My profession is female-dominated but my work for a humanist org has more men & my political-arguing circle is more male.

I think that's definitely a part of it. Also exposure, geographic territory, cultural considerations. It depends.
