Maths is clearly warmer. Go look at the stats for undergrad vs postgrad. There's a huge difference. Women get maths degrees to become teachers, more or less.

- tptacek 8y agoWomen do not get math PhD's to become math teachers, nor do they publish cryptography research to do that.
- dllthomas 8y agoPlaying devil's advocate, it's possible that someone winds up getting a PhD or publishing crypto research after finding out that they really like doing math, after initially choosing it with the intent to teach. I have absolutely no idea whether that matches reality for enough people to make any kind of a difference.
