/sci/ - Science & Math

At first I thought the video was a troll, but then I literally died laughing at the description.

I have no strong feelings one way or the other

I don't think women should be allowed to take part in scientific research or teach at academic institutions

Sure they can if they want

This image basically sums up the idea of that video

>>5738424
Why not?

>>5738425
whoops

>>5738425
women aren't as intelligent so it's not fair to put them in that position

>>5738428
Some women are intelligent the same way some men are intelligent

You make it sound like they're being forced into it, what if they want to research due to genuine interest? It would be unfair to deny them that position if they were competent enough.

>>5738431
that's not true, women don't have 'hard intelligence' like men do (of course there are a minuscule number of exceptions)

We need as many girls putting their energy into science as possible.

>>5738424
>implying you're not a girl
If you weren't a girl, you wouldn't be here. Science is a girl thing.

women are better as secretaries and admin jobs, it's also humilitating for males to be taught by women

>>5738437
Your argument makes no sense. You're fucking stupid.

>>5738441
Why is that?

Are you so insecure about your masculinity that you cannot bear to have a woman in a higher position?

I really can't see the problem with women doing science if that is what they care for. Really what is the problem with it, they do contribute something no matter how small that contribution might be.

>>5738449
but put yourself in a womens position,

imagine all the time your never able to keep up with your male peers, and none of your research is as important or insightful.

Seems unfair to put a women in that position, it would be kinder to exclude them from science.

>>5738454

0/10, too obvious, apply yourself.

>>5738454
What if she doesn't care for anything but science, and science is the only thing she knows?
Also there have been women who have contributed with important research for science

>>5738460
that's very abnormal and other than very exceptional cases only really happens because of pressures like OPs video

>>5738447
>Are you so insecure about your masculinity
What are you talking about? There are no men on /sci/.

>>5738465
But the cases do happen, and they happen in most countries. Some classes have a higher woman to man ratio because more women enjoy those studies. Also should those women who truly do love science not be allowed to study it?

>>5738428
true...

Compare chess elo scores men vs women:
http://ratings.fide.com/topfed.phtml?tops=0&ina=1&country=

women are more social, because evolutionarily speaking they were carers and spent lots of time discussing and relating while the men were out solving complex problems and hunting. that's why women dont like to go deeply into abstract theories like mathematics, they are not built for it

>>5738444
That's not an argument, it's a statement. Not even him.

>>5738492
Stop making excuses, bitch. You just need to put in some work.

>>5738488
very interesting, the chess scores pretty much prove that women can't compete with men when it comes to intellectual strength. The same is true for other games than chess of course.

>>5738499

>r9k hour at sci
Please go.

Also, the comments in vid.

>literally died laughing
but then who was post

>>5738565
welp that pic really proves women can do science mate

>>5738578
It's an evidence that society's bigotry fucks little girls so most won't be interested in science or prepared to do it in the end.

>>5738528
But that was a joke, mate.

If a woman honestly was interested enough in a science or mathematics she would be smart enough to pursue a career in the fields of her interest on her own. This video is has no existing target audience; the women who want to do science are already doing it, and those who aren't interested won't be after watching it either.

>>5738565
Perhaps the chemistry set also comes in pink?

>>5738592
it's evidence that girls are different from boys, they don't WANT science shit - it's unnatural.

>>5738617
>it's unnatural
One could say the same about engineering, but it's brought great benefits to our society.

What the flying fuck did you just make me watch op?

Was that some troll to piss off our women?

>>5738628
And in both cases it's false. There are plenty of examples of non-human animals that engage in primitive engineering. For example, bonobos.

Ultimately, there can be no unnatural behaviors because they we ourselves are a part of nature.

>>5738617
Have you got ANY evidence at all to make that claim?
It seems to me that you don't care about science.

>>5738413
I really do not understand why you deem it so necessary for everyone to acknowledge your genitalia. If you have something interesting about /sci/ to say then just say it.

>>5739008

Science should be totally meritocratic. Researchers like Barbara McClintock and Elizabeth Blackburn clearly demonstrate that some women are cut out for science, and should not be discriminated against by gender.

>>5739077
still smarter than everyone in this thread (including me)

Just cause those other dudes are your gender doesn't mean they confer their smartness onto you

we're insects compared to her

>>5738529
>>5738502
maybe just less women are interested in playing chess?

>>5739097
>Just cause those other dudes are your gender
But they aren't her gender.

>>5739100
missed my point entirely

>>5739102
I don't disagree with your point. Just correcting you.

>>5739111
i was referring tot he gender of the dude i was replying to

>>5739115
>i was referring tot he gender of the dude i was replying to
There are no dudes on /sci/. Science is a girl thing. Please refrain from making this mistake in the future.

>be female
>major in math
>no one cares
>get goods grades and study extracurricular maths
>still no one cares
That was easier than I thought

>>5739123

It's almost like angry neckbeards on 4chan have a distorted perception of reality!

>>5739098
Maybe just less women are interested in science.

>>5739126

Maybe not. The question is how close we are to the "natural" ratio, absent cultural bias and discrimination.

And I'm sure there is such a ratio, and I'm sure it's not equal.

Conservatives want to put everyone into rigid categories. They're retarded.

Liberals won't rest until everyone is the exactly equal. They're also retarded.

Just let people be what they are and do what they want, you stupid faggots.

>>5739131
argumentum ad generis
>implying just because its because of patriarchy we need to change it

>>5739143
The natural ratio of women in science is imho the reciprocal proportion of male to female strippers.

http://www.11points.com/Dating-Sex/11_Eye-Opening_Statistics_About_Strippers
There are more than nine female strippers for every one male stripper. The industry checks in around 92 percent female, eight percent male. Essentially the opposite ratio of Google+.
