Can a true scientist have family or should she dedicate her whole life 24/7 to science?

I have an IQ in the 99.999 percentile but assuming the people I'm competing against are only slightly less intelligent than myself and are willing to invest all their time into science (I know for a fact some of my colleagues are hardcore autists). Could I even allow myself to become pregnant or would it throw me back in my career so much that I could never become the best again?

There were many scientists at the top of their field who had families. And many who did not.

However, none of them were women :^)

>"women aren't dumb because statistics" is also an argument.

ahahah what statistics say that? literally none, women after all the shit done for them, changing school system to fit them and everything, they still can't do STEM better than men can, not even fucking close. They can do better in elementary school where no brain is required but once it is required they all fall behind.

Also, nice strawman there, but I guess a womyn wouldn't understand that it is wrong to use logical fallacies instead of an actual argument.

>> No.7126261

>>7126250
Basically all statistics say that. Women don't have all their shit done for them, the school system doesn't cater to them, and they can do STEM just as well as men. They do as well (and in some cases better) then men at every level of education.

Also nice sources for your information, as you can see mine are just as reputable, but I guess as a man you wouldn't understand that it's wrong to make these claims without backing them up.

Bottomline is we're both talking out of our asses with on real argument. But at least I admit it.

>no no no
>we are just not sure in the ability of our gender, you see!

jesus christ, are you womyn actually retarded? I mean, I know you are pretty stupid but this is something else.

>1 Studies show that at an early age, girls are smarter than boys

Smarter in this case means they are way way less likely to challange any authority and basically will do anything they are told. That doesn't mean they are smarter, just that they will work what they are told to do more than boys will. And 1.5 IQ points literally means nothing, you can get an increase of 5 just by attending college, still doesn't make you a great mind. Not to mention that majority of elementary school teachers are women who aren't capable of representing an authority figure in the eyes of the boys(given how women are inferior and all, boys know this very early on, they see it in their mothers first), will get you a result where female teachers concentrate more on the girls and less on the boys because girls are easier to deal with and control.


Why? Well, as a I said schools are now made to cater to little girls and to punish boys for being boys.

>2 But girls begin to question their ability because of their gender

It's so easy to blame any of your shortcomings on other people judging you or not liking you.

>oh mom I can't do math because those pesky niggers are spreading AIDS across the world
>I can't do math and science untill we kill the niggers

-the same reasoning.
You are the only one to blame for your lack of ability, or rather your inferior nature.

>intellectual equals to men which is grounded firmly in reality.

No it's not really. If it was, there would be equal number of Nobel prizes going to females as to males, but that's not the case even today. You ran out of excuses so not the problem isn't opression and lack of acces to education, no no! Now, it's that men are not chearing you up as you do the SAME fucking thing they have been doing for ages, but you are a woman, right? That means that when you do something men already do, you are basically curing cancer.

my 2c it's that women are more likely to listen to the general opinion/authority, and being an innovative person which extends the limits of the human society usually means breaking from the authority and not agreeing with the general opinion, or in other words, being a edgy fuck

coming with this question and having the iq stuff as your back up could mean you are not feet at the moment because you are doubting yourself and caring what others thing or what their iq is

the truth it's you didn't work enough to build up the confidence to not care about those stuff, and you do that by loving what you do, and if you are doubting if you love enough it that's good, because doubting it means you are looking for improvement

so I suppose you are going trow a crisis and looking for a boost for your work to take you out, so my advice is to find the creativity in your field and play around with things so that the work doesn't feel in vane (what was the name of that dude? siphilis? sisiphis?) and remember to alternate studding with exploring through creativity what you learn, don't just learn for the sake of learning, and like that you will feel you are making progress

She is probably great, but she is an outlier. On average men are far better at math and science, the only reason they are gaining on boys at the elementary and high school level is because those systems are more and more focused towards females.
see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFpYj0E-yb4

in high school it is the same shit. Where I am (ausfag) doing real math class was required for physics. now there is no math requirement, and it is dumbed down as fuck. chemistry is in a similar state, everything takes twice as long because everyone has to wait for the girls (and some of the sperg boys) to finally get it. They used to tell us that "everyone learns differently," which translates to "we have to wait until the girls have taken a billion notes and memorised everything before we do the test, or they will undoubtedly fail." again, there are smart girls, but they are few and far between.
