Why are their no women in hard science?

>> No.2432431

No science in the kitchen

>> No.2432438

because having pussy is awesome.

>> No.2432440

Because the women scientists do engineering or medicine and have more successful careers.

>> No.2432441

Women as a whole( i know generalizations are bad) don't like a challenge. They need their coursework to hold their hand as much as possible.

>> No.2432485

Define hard science.

There's a shitload of women in biology and earth science.

Better question:
Why are there so few males in "soft science"?

Women care about their reputation and how others perceive them. Being interested in nerdy stuff automatically means they will be excluded from the ultimate female dream - being a pretty bimbo with shallow friends.

>> No.2432511

y'all retards need to leave the basement for a change and go visit a lab.

there are plenty of women in hard sciences

>> No.2432516

My wife is a biochemist. Currently using NMR to determine protein structures.

He's never taken differential equations and quantum physics.

>> No.2432513

Because interest in science is abnormal, and there are more abnormal men than women. For more info read this:

Well, but they do know how to make me hard.

They're inarguably the minority. I noticed a reasonable number of chicks in chemistry, but that was about it. My graduating class of ChemE was like 34 people with a total of like 4 chicks. That's pretty common.

Organic chemistry in my opinion was harder than both of those. Now I haven't had senior undergraduate physics kind of quantum physics, but that's not really comparable anyway.

My experience:
Biomedical sciences: 75% woman in the first year, later on drops to about 50/50. The same in the lab. Neuroscience, same story. Fuck, I even know a bunch of girls in computer science and physics. Maybe it's different in the US, but here in Europe (the Netherlands at least) men are sometimes even in the minority.

Actually, as far as biology goes, women outnumber men. (around 60%)
And other science majors have women at 40% or so.
Math majors have the fewest, but even then, the ratio is still about 25%, if I remember correctly.
Trying to find the link from the last time I posted in a thread like this.

MOTHERFUCKING FOUND IT!
http://www.maa.org/columns/launchings/launchings_09_09.html

And here's something else i stumbled across while looking for it. It's got some interesting graphs, regardless of the fact that they're outdated.

Still looking for that other web page.

WHOOPS.
I am not still looking for any other web page.
I initially had that post, but I mistyped the verification, so it didn't go through. I saw that when I found the link I was actually searching for, and just threw in that bit at the top.
