The future of society

According to projections by the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2017 half again as many women as men will earn bachelor's degrees. In the early 1990s, six women graduated from college for every five men who did so; today, the ratio is about 4-to-3. A decade from now, it will be 3-to-2—and rising, on current trends.

My primary area of study is in Computer Science, and I'll admit that this area still has relatively few women involved. Yet, both where I did my undergrad and where I'm doing graduate studies the school has invested a fair bit of time and money trying to recruit women into the program.

However, the same cannot be said for the arts and humanities as far as I can tell. As an undergrad I came relatively close to fulfilling the requirements for a history major (4 courses off). History is disproportionately female but I never heard of any attempts made by the history department, or any money spent, to recruit more men.
