Women do not need the approval of men to get involved in STEM fields. I will even argue, even if they were "discouraged" into applying to STEM fields(since when have you heard a modern man discourage a woman into going into this field? in fact it's the opposite).
On another note, gender roles have done nothing but good for society. Scientifically speaking, gender roles as they are now, are paramount to happiness and social functionality.
Luxury as it creeps into the "Strong men make good times, good times create weak men" I feel we're going into this phase and we will repeat it.
