> Why do we actually care about inequality in professions?
At an individual level, it's unfair if people are discouraged or denied the opportunity to peruse their interests because of their demographic characteristics.
At a societal level, we'll all benefit by having more people working in fields where they're most productive.
> so is every other field out there dominated by either/or.
That's not true at all. Some fields are near parity. Med schools are basically 50/50 these days.
