male/female Ph.D.’s in various disciplines

Somehow I missed this, though it was posted on February 5. (Oh yeah, we had a revolution going on in Egypt then. No wonder.)

Anyway, it’s fascinating, and I found it HERE.

Physics is the most heavily male Ph.D. on the chart and Psychology the most heavily female. Classics and neuroscience seem to be the closest to 50/50.

Philosophy = very heavily male. Yglesias comments on that briefly if you click the link.
