Don’t worry, man. The proportion of women graduating from non-STEM programs is around 66%, but that proportion is 60% lower in STEM programs. Of those STEM graduates less than 1 in 4 engineering are women. Girls who have the highest mathematical abilities are far less likely to go into STEM programs than even boys with the lowest math skills.

So don’t worry. We’re nowhere near parity.

And those figures are from StatCan themselves, analyzing the 2011 long-form census. You know, the thing Conservatives keep trying to kill.
