There is one strong theory that the feminization of the doctoring professions starts at grade school where: 1. Boys are generally less motivated to excell in jr high and high school than do girls, thus setting up the shift of college students, especially those that may excel in college shifted toward females. Are boys less inclined to exel than are girls? Hormone effects? Motivation? Check the sex distribution of top ten HS grads.
And 2. Teachers (majority females) very often encourage female students to excel, while often neglecting males. How many teachers are biased against male students? There have been discussions along these lines in recent past about teachers attempts to feminize our schools at all levels. Liberal teachers just gotta fight that toxic masculinity all the way back to elementary school.
I believe women are taking stronger roles in the doctoring professions because they out-perform their male counterparts in gaining admission to college and then on to grad school… academically and social biases
