STEM

Field of study including Science and Math that women who decided to major in gender and race studies and other areas that are not a part of STEM complain and protest that not enough women are majoring in STEM fields... despite the fact they chose not to.

Generally, the blame is attributed to a specific race, gender, and sexuality that dominates the STEM fields that the protesters chose not to enter on their own free will.
The Women's Studies major is upset that more women aren't in STEM fields even though she chose not to enter STEM fields, but she is still 100% certain that her choice not to enter it has nothing to do with women not being in STEM fields.
