In some schools and universities, girl tend to choose art subjects(e.g literature) and boys tend to choose science subjects(e.g physics).Why do you think this is so? Should this tendency be changed? Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, it is argued, that in some schools and universities there is a high tendency of girls choosing art subjects and boys choosing science subjects and
this
should be changed. I do not agree with the statement above, because of two reasons.
First
of all, girls as much as boys are influenced by external factors when it comes to choosing a subject to study.
Moreover
, they are seeking to pursue what their ancestors did, and most of the time, females prefer the area what their mother studied, and males what their father did. I am an example of
this
myself, and I could never learn science, neither my mother, and
this
is why I have chosen to do what she did, everything related to literature.
Secondly
,
Accept space
,
another reason why I disagree with changing
this
tendency is, because I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to choose what it wants, and in which way would want to live its life.
Furthermore
, everyone has different interests and beliefs, and no one should try to change somebody's mind.
In addition
, girls were always better in social and art subjects than boys, maybe because they are more emotional and art requires
this
kind of calmness and warm. In the meantime, boys will always do better in science,
such
as mechanics, physics, chemistry because
this
needs a great power
,
Accept space
,
which girls do not have. In conclusion, I do not agree with changing someone's interests, because it could affect in a negative way their future by making it more complicated.
