A woman receiving a PhD now has at least three academic career paths available to her:
I suspect that the career paths which don't actually involve the uncertainty of having to produce actual scientific results might be diverting women from science, and possibly even changing the way women approach PhD studies - if you are studying for a PhD it probably matters whether you actually expect to use what you are learning to find out things, or whether you just need a certificate that says you are a real scientist so you can spend the rest of your life on committees mass-producing reports about all the factors that mean that women don't do science.
