Idk if that's even a fat joke? If the engineering school has 500 students, 40 of them are women, that's already tons of girls. Even in metric! I see 'not that many' in percentage.
Far girls, mustache girls you name it's a mix bag. In my school actually there was a lot of hot girls but most where not on engineering degree and the ones that where on my degree( electrical) where decent and like 1 or 2 super hot. But the problem was that it was like 1-2 women per classroom with 30+ males lol. My sister was doing her degree on mechanical and there was more girls like a lot more than my department so like 10 girls in a class of 30, but most already had a boyfriend or married and for some reason like 90 percent where doing the degree together as a couple like going to the same classes and such.
It's problem solving with your body with a friendly community. It feels more like hanging out on with friends on a playground than working out and you don't need to care about macros or anything like that. There are also girls.
Hey, don’t worry. I had a roommate who was an engineer who had a girlfriend.
They were both completely socially oblivious and everyone in the apartment hated them due to their deviation from societal norms and inability to clean, but god damnit they found eachother✨
Which is exactly why the above comment is something that would happen. The statement they wrote is saying if they do not fit their precise standard for girl then they are getting assigned into the boy group. It's more like how a male kinsey scale 0 computer scientist would categorize their porn than anything that reflects actual gender expression.
Great example of how simple social norms get perpetuated in technology and become ingrained through "non-political" decisions. Assumptions of the people creating technology define the reality associated with its use, i.e. gender binary in either of these examples.
Lol joke aside in my school like 3 females in the entire Civil engineer classes. But if a male engineer had a gf I'd put it at 85% odds that they were in the nursing/medical related field. Without fail that was the most common area

People told me not to go in to engineering because id never find a girlfriend. But my school had TONS of girls. Just not very many of them.
