Ninety percent of the people taking the math endorsement were women.

A majority (but I doubt 90%) of primary and secondary school teachers are woman. That would account for some of the unexpectedly high %. Which is not to say that "woman can't do math", that contention is silly, and hasn't to my knowledge been made by anyone on this thread. You are punching a straw man.
