/sci/ - Science & Math

>i'm not a woman
liar

just look at all the women who have made breakthroughs in science or math

clue: they constitute about 1%

clue: this has a statistical significance of about five trillion.

>>>/adv/

>>3804726
Because being oppressed by men for centuries certainly makes it possible to have a chance at making any scientific breakthroughs?

>>3804727
I swear, but I can't prove it.. sorry.
>>3804726
to be fair, you should consider the cultural background and circumstances.
With the increasing of gender equality, it increased the percentage of scientifical accomplishments by women, the same reason why it's more common to find a female scientist in Western Europe rather than in Iran..

>>3804730

I want to ask /sci/, not /adv/

I think women are just as capable as men.
Unfortunately, though, taking years out of your life to raise children pretty much fucks any chance you had at doing anything great with your life, and more women choose to do this than men do. A big reason that there are more men in Ph.D.s programs than women in spite of the fact that there are more women in undergrad programs is that it takes until you are around 30 years old to complete said programs. Most women want to have children before then.

>>3804791
Well you can't always get what you want... But if you try advice, you'll get what you need!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

chloe = goddess

>>3804752
> implying there is any social pressure excluding women from education and academia any more

sure is apologist in here

>>3804791

We've already had a huge increase in shitty threads in the past month, one more irrelevant thread like this doesn't help the least bit.

>>3804827

but but but... how can /adv/ know why /sci/ behave in a certain way?

>>3804856

could*

>>3804826

Those excuses don't hold up I'm afraid, Stephen Hawking has kids and is incredibly disabled, yet is one of the most successful scientists on the planet. Shit loads of scientists have spouses and kids while in a Phd.

>>3804866
I love you. Subjunctive mood ftw. I fucking hate when people say "If I was...." WERE MOTHERFUCKER, WERE

>>3804882
The key here is that they have spouses, spouses who accomplished nothing because they were taking care of the kids while their husbands were doing science.

>>3804896
the key here is that women repeatedly get lower scores in visual reasoning tests

>>3804719
Everyone here is a Nice Guy. Look up the meaning of it and you'll understand.

>>3804883

lol yeah. I was the same guy btw.

because we don't fuck

now fuck off

>>3804863

>>3804719
Because of pic related (something that gets posted on this board almost daily).

>>3804928

How can I fuck off if I post on /sci/ and then I don't fuck?

>>3804910
>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_guy
>mfw even this has a Wikipedia entry now

>>3804947

Why have you searched for it on Wikipedia?

Surely there is a good reason in evolution to believe women have less intelligence. If males are the more powerful gender and therefore have more power to exercise intelligence and practice and adapt to it then I don't see why males wouldn't end up smarter.
After all our brains are bigger even when taking into account it's relativity to body size.

Another point would be that if Women were equal intelligence to Men, there would be at least one point in history where there was a matriarchal, where women used their intelligence to gang up and outsmart other men. Yet their is no single case in human history of that.

>Is there any scientific demonstration in support of your prejudice?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Women have a smaller brain to body ratio than men, but that itself is not relevant. What is more important is that female brains have a much more extreme link their limbic cortext ( outer layer of limbic system responsible for emotions ) to the frontal lobe responsible for logic and higher reasoning.

This explains why women are capable of logic and reasoning just as well as men on IQ tests where emotion does not effect much, but then it comes to practical applications women ultimately fail. When you need to apply these things to reality instead of the classroom you have to take yourself into account. When a women takes herself into account the connection between these two parts of her brain activate at which point she goes from being just as intelligent as a man to becoming a full throttle bonafide retard.

Men are not perfect either. Male brains also share this link between those areas of the brain, however it is much smaller. A man is capable of taking his emotions out of the picture and examining situations objectively. Women are terrible at doing this.

This is why women get good grades in college when all they have to do is regurgitate but then graduate to never do anything with their life.

>>3804719
It's not unusual for those of above average or high intelligence to be prejudice of some people, groups, or things. Hell, intelligent folk like a professor or scientist are more likely to believe in shit conspiracies or prejudices because they can rationalize those beliefs and defend them better than some of low intelligence. The lowly intelligent are more easily swayed into their beliefs, while the highly intelligent are more difficult to attack or argue against their belief and be convinced of something else, even their belief seems unintelligent on it's own.

>>3804961
because it was the first result when I googled "nice guy"

>>3804947
"There is an active debate about whether the nice guy personality profile may actually make a man less desirable to women romantically or sexually. Part of this debate includes speculation about possible hypocrisy among women in the dating world: that women may say they want a nice guy but won't date him or have sex with him, and rather subconsciously prefer men who are more confident and assertive but less considerate."

Well, I'm depressed now.

>mfw you are mixing evolution of species with genders.
>mfw you are implying there was not matriarchy in humanity, and that's fucking wrong since there are actually some matriarchal tribes, i.e. Mosuo on Himalaya.

The reason why the highest achievers in most fields are men could partially be explained by the fact that men have a higher variance in intellectual ability. There are more men among the very bright, but also more men among the very dull. This could also be an explanation for why women are the majority of university students. I.e. more men are just "too dull" to get in or want to get in.

>>3804987

why have you searched for nice guys on google, do you feel alone?

>mfw I have to be an abusive asshole in order to get a woman interested in me
>mfw I to have be an abusive asshole to get her to stay
>mfw that whenever I try to tone it down and actually be my nice, considerate self, they always lose interest in me and leave for another, abusive asshole
>mfw no matter what girl I find that's different than the rest, like a fat virgin, hipster nerd girl, hot stuck up girl, girl next door type, etc. this is always the one thing (often the only thing) they have in common with each other

Does that answer your question OP? :(

woman are much more rational, that is why they make better investors (they can stay steadfast on an investment, instead of pulling out when fear is high), and that is why woman are starting to dominate the business world.

Read the two posts he was quoting when that link, moron. Your low reading comprehension is showing.

Cheese and rice, I know sooo many women like this it's not even funny.

Nice guy is a term in the general public discourse and in popular culture describing an adult or teenage male with friendly yet unassertive personality traits in the context of a relationship with a woman.[1] A typical nice guy is perceived to put the needs of others before his own, avoids confrontations, does favors, gives emotional support, and generally acts nicely towards women.[2] There is an active debate about whether the nice guy personality profile may actually make a man less desirable to women romantically or sexually. Part of this debate includes speculation about possible hypocrisy among women in the dating world: that women may say they want a nice guy but won't date him or have sex with him, and rather subconsciously prefer men who are more confident and assertive but less considerate.

I'm not.

>>3804848
maybe not in the USA, but I live in Latin America and attended a catholic girls' school and it was obvious that they were more concerned with making us good future wives/mothers than anything else, our math was ridiculously easy compared to other schools and we didn't have physics classes.
(I'm a female majoring in physics right now my the way)

Looks like none of us really are getting laid. Hell, probably not even a significant other to begin with, which is a worse fate than being a life long virgin. Might as well pic related...

>>3805058

oh come on.. don't be so tragic.. think about what happened to the unbeatable speed of light

>>3805058
It really isn't. I got so good at acting like an asshole that I can't consciously turn it off anymore.

>>3805058

oh come on.. don't be so tragic.. think about what happened to the formerly unbeatable speed of light

>>3805092
... That doesn't even make any sense in context to the post you were replying to...

>>3805104

I haven't slept in about thirty hours, sue me.

>>3805119
With what? Insomnia therapy?
