Maybe that's because it's fucking retarded.

Attempts in switching nurturing methods consistently results in failure. Kids end up hating what you're doing and being less happy. Some basic differences are innate, not taught, such as the mechanical-social distinction that is broadly speaking more prevalent across the genders (and demonstrated as babies prior to such "nurturing"). People should be equal and able to pursue their interests, but the fact that more males are interested in engineering is not a "problem" that needs to be solved by forcing more females into the field to the detriment of males. Same thing goes if they'd start doing the same for professions dominated by females. Having an imbalance is perfectly fine so long as the minority is on equal terms with the majority.

It's also notable that the more equal a society becomes, such as in my native country of Sweden, the wider the gender-gap in professions like Engineering becomes. It isn't an issue of upbringing. When people feel there's a _need_ to fight for their right to be a certain profession it gets closer to a balance, but with actual equality people just do what they really want to do.

For reference I am quite the effeminate faggot, not some macho MRA shit, but we really shouldn't pretend that isn't the case out of political motivations. Science isn't supposed to be an aid to creating some strange dating-service for you just because you can't find mutual interests with non-STEM women.
