Under Pressure

Women shouldn't be pressured to enter technical fields because they are at a low percentage in those fields.  Often students are forced into engineering or mathematics, even if they hate the subject, because those fields are viewed as more prestigious and better paying.  Parents will often coerce their children to enter the field they are in (or wish they were in).  Women, like men, should be encouraged to enter a field that they enjoy, not forced to enter a field they hate.  A small salary cut is worth loving your profession.
