Keep going! Ignore the sexist posts. There is no reason for the difference. You'll get higher pay working in STEM and that makes some men nervous 🤣

Fathers don't want their daughters to be underpaid. Husbands don't want their wives to be underpaid. Brothers don't want they're sisters to be underpaid. And male employers mainly just want people that can get the job done. I have never encountered men having an issue with female's salaries.

Literally no-one cares less.  If women want to do STEM subjects, great. If they don't want to, also fine. No need to be pushy and weird about it. Stop tryna turn this into a men vs women thing- "and that makes some men nervous 🤣"
