When I was in high school, the classes were split according to those who took the long Math option and those who didn't want to study math so much.
I was one of the few girls who took math, there were like 5 of us out of 30. It wasn't that boys were necessarily better at math, but even those boys who weren't as good at it took it, and girls who had good grades for some reason didn't think it was necessary.
I'm in university now, and the gender-ratio among those who study geology seems to be about 50-50.
