Why do less women study theoretical physics? I've noticed an uptick in women studying astrophysics and biology degrees are now overwhelmingly women (over 60%).

Talent and interest aside, most women can't stomach the culture of theoretical physics and pure math.

Mainly it's because theoretical physics is a large crock of bullshit. It has elegant mathematics, but it's half of axiomatic mathematics discipline pretending to be a natural science.

Women mostly tend not to find maths interesting.
