It is not always true that most computer science students are male - it varies between universities and from year to year, but there does seem to be more males than females in many cases.

As with many similar cases, the problem is a complex one. A pre-existing conception that men are better with technology than women means that some women will be put off from trying, leading to a greater incidence of men in the industry. It is a bit of a vicious cycle.

In short, there is no good reason for women not to study computer science. They can be just as capable as men.

Is it true that if you are good at math you will have difficulty in science engineering and economics even if you are a terrible writer or dyslexic?

It depends, both science engineering and economics require a very good knowledge of higher level mathematics, mainly statistics and calculus. If your writing is sloppy, you may wish to type your findings and reports to avoid mathematical errors. In science engineering the smallest mistake such as an incorrect number or misplaced decimal can be the difference between a working experiment and a deadly one.
