If universities come to be coded as “feminine,” what social consequences? Often results in loss of status (causality runs both ways). Maybe “women learn to be social harmony experts at uni, while men prepare for real work at subject-matter bootcamps.”https://twitter.com/robamacl/status/1089579773469360134 …

I guess I am too far from day to day university to know if this is a realistic concern. I don't see Physics or Engineering as being considered useless soon (though Theoretical HEP may require a re-appraisal).

Yes. Saying that physics is useless displays a lot of ignorance about the whole area. People focus too much on the stale situation with particle physics while many other fields (e.g. material physics) are having steady progress.

Even if you concede for the sake of argument that physics is useless (I strongly disagree), the skills you learn in physics are a very strong base for careers that are highly in demand, ie programming, ML, stats...

Or is your concern that CONTROL (incl financial control) passes to elements who will not support traditional male disciplines in uni? That seems to me a little to Handmaid's tale away. Maybe in 50 yrs worth worrying about, but doesn't seem serious issue now.
