It has been my experience within the government museums (SI) that education has more to do with ceilings, and where you got your degree and who you know and how well you kiss, well you know :?) than being male or female. I knew just as many male Phd's who were working far below what they should have been as females. Now that I think of it, there are actually a surprising number of female scientists there considering the median age of the population - 30 years ago, when they were mostly hired, only men were hired for anything you needed a brain to do.
