Patrissimo's explanation on why women aren't in science is right on, I think. Personally, I think too many men try to appear superior and stay ahead with their peer that they end up picking the wrong battle to fight. Or put it another way: men often want to continue to feel good about their accomplishments, or refuse to admit their wrong career choices, that they end up making the wrong decision for the wrong reason. That's why many men got into the wrong kind of jobs in the first place, and are afraid to get out because doing so will amount to admitting their failure.
