What is it about shop class that made it different from math or science?

There is a thread I started on FB. I said, “When I was in Jr. High, early 70s, they gave us aptitude tests. To my surprise my highest score, 98%, was in engineering.
But they never did anything with that information. I was ‘Strongly discouraged’ from taking Shop in HS. So what was the point of those aptitude tests?”
Another person said she was discouraged from taking math and science courses, in the 80s. I never faced any blow back from that. In fact, in my two years at KState I amassed 17 credit hours in science. I loved science.
Are there any she jellies who experienced discrimination in areas like science and math?
And how is shop different, in that there are those who think it’s more inappropriate for a woman than math or science?
