Almost as though the policies to increase female representation in senior roles simply put off male undergraduates and had no effect in the senior sphere, where these kind of campaigns are secondary to career / life choices etc
Why would that put off male undergraduates? Who's choosing uni based on the male to female ratio of leaders?
My point is (I've seen lots of these campaigns) is they focus on examples of women in Psychology etc or profiles of them and this creates an impression the discipline is female dominated, which puts of male ugrads the same way the very male reputation of physics puts off women
And at the senior level, no-one in their right mind is responding to PR campaigns. They are concerned about their research, or personal issues etc. They will totally ignore any efforts and only ugrads will be affected
