- I'd really like seeing more girls interested on STEM, an ambient with just guys is boring sometimes. However, only if they enter by merit, not by some stupid attempt of social justice.

- biological, due their maternity - driven instincts, and sociological, due to stereotypes. Being unwelcome? Really never saw that, unless they try to force some behavior that isn't coherent with the group - the classical "omg, take it easy on me, I'm a girl" .

Not sure if this is true (2:1), but it makes sense if so. Lots of the best men go into industry to make money, but that's constantly evolving. Women take time off for child birth and rearing, and so would get left behind in industry. Academia - teaching and the occasional research paper (at least at non-research focused schools) makes sense as a career path for women in STEM who want to have kids. So, the if the best women are applying to be professors, it makes sense that they're, overall, more qualified than the men who are divided between industry and academia.

Oh, I should add an interesting point from the documentary.

In nations where there is much financial difficulty such as India, more women tend to go into STEM fields. This is likely because there is a greater pressure to make money and survive.

On the contrary, nations with a relatively high standard of living and "gender equality" tend to be more polarized (e.g., civil engineering is dominated by men, but nursing is dominated by women).

I think this is interesting because it offers some credibility to the notion that when men and women are "free" to do as they please with little to no financial pressure, they will go with their natural instincts.

•I'm here and I don't give a fuck. I like STEM so I went into STEM. That's all.
•They're not interested for one reason or another. For me STEM has always been an interest of mine and my mom always went out of her way to engage me with academic materials (let me read her medical textbooks, indulged my countless library trips, took me to science museums, etc.) so it just sort of ended up as being inevitable. I think the point of no return was my 7th birthday party when my presents were a Game Boy Color and a microscope. Shit was rad.

Here's a non-troll and non-biased look at the facts.

>>7226465
>Women have the grades and brains to do it, but they choose other fields.

The smartest women by grades go into engineering and successful applicants to engineering are 50% women (which is university policy at most institutions) and yet only 20% of engineering graduates are women.

So clearly we can draw a few conclusions from this phenomenon:

>A. "Cultural" factors etc. are bullshit, there is a lot of interested women who are trying to become engineers.*
>B. A lot of women are perfectly capable of becoming engineers (20% is still a 1 out of every 5 engineering graduates, that adds up to just over 10 000 women graduating engineering annually in the US alone).
>B.2 This also shows that while clearly not all women all equal as some are much higher on the bell curve, it collaborates IQ studies that show the narrower IQ distributions of women compared to men, meaning that women with slightly above average intelligence are more common than men, but highly intelligent women are rarer than highly intelligent men.
>C. High-school grades say nothing about how successful a person will be in higher level academia. Diligence, discipline and hard work won't always be a substitute for (genetic?) fluid intelligence and creative problem solving skills.
>D. Medicine, as we've always known, is mostly about memorization and requires very little open problem solving so pure hard work and diligence is rewarded. This makes it the perfect profession for most women, who are good at concentrating for long periods in structured, organized environments.
>E. No amount of shilling and additional bias is going to change the statistics for certain professions, when equity has already been pushed for decades with little effect.

At my uni, KCL, girls are given a £3000pa grant if they choose to study stem. This grant is only available to women and the purported purpose is to balance the playing field and lure more females into a Male dominated field.
Firstly, I find this incredibly unfair, as in the English education system, there is literally NOTHING that could stop women from having the opportunity to choose maths, physics, engineering etc. But the fact of the matter is that they just don't want to on the whole. To discriminate against a high performing, dedicated male, who had had his heart set on stem from the start purely on the basis of gender, to pander to women who might have their entire career choice swayed by a BRIBE is sickening.
Secondly, many universities in the uk are already female dominated. KCL is over 65% female already! Why are there not equal grants for men choosing sociology, literature, psychology etc. (All female dominated fields). These sorts of blatant double standards are simultaneously patronising to women, and discriminatory towards men. Why do women need to be bribed into doing tech degrees? It's pathetic.

I could keep ranting and ranting but yet again universities are proving themselves to be tools of a whiny middle class that only seeks to leech a free, worthless, education on the backs of working class taxpayers to further perpetuate class struggle. God I hate girls.
I pray to the sweet baby Jesus that men can at least keep the last bastion of academia that hasn't been softened and delegitimised by pandering to the middle classes. The less women in stem the better.

There is SOME reason why they don't pursue STEM degrees and I'm not sure why. It's probably a combination of many things from the looks of it right now.

>Furthermore, are you biased towards girls who do enter these fields?

Right, and computer science is not engineering and there are far more women in CS than engineering. And information technology (IT) degrees are in fact female dominated.

So it's stigmatized because programming is for icky, creepy nerds, not because of "muh intelligence" or "muh oppression" (other students don't affect your career, they have no power over you).

I don't feel anything except a minor prejudice of annoyance that the woman has probably received too much affirmative action before her path has crossed my own.

I think women are not interested in these fields because their curiosities are tuned mainly towards emotion and human behavior. They also may not statistically have the raw brainpower that is needed for hard mathematics that men have.

I find it a bit threatening when a woman comes into a field with an attitude molded from brainwashing and basically attempts to hijack work that is spiritual for many of us. I feel the women who have the soul for this will go into on their own and will actually fit in because her mind and attitude are aligned with the goals of the men.

They totally should get into anything they are able to; imagine if there were a lot more capable minds in science/engineering today if women got into any such fields as commonly as men; how much more advanced could we have been if this was always the norm?

Getting a PhD quite often requires you to have very little social life outside of your lab, to say nothing of starting and raising a family etc. I've seen plenty of female postdocs start families soon after they get their PhD; it's not like you are doomed to become a spinster if you take up the science mantle, but that seems to be a prevailing fear. Truth be told I know that good chunk of the female PIs at the place I'm at are single.. some never married. A possible biological factor would be that girls, having superior social interaction/thinking skills, are not very keen on putting themselves in an environment where they're basically sealed off from society over something that many of their current social peers might not grasp nor care about the value of anyway; women (so it seems) value their friendships more than men and are less likely to trash their social plane-scape over a very hard career that is not at all going to be a guaranteed win in life anyway.

Additionally, math and engineering being so very male-dominated probably just makes it feel intangibly wrong to seriously go for. It has not so much to do with intellect as it just feeling like it's not a right role for them to want, and that being felt as a societal pressure (again women value social perceptions more), that's what does it. Even so I hope in the future that all fields equalize, not as some cost to males in particular but for the betterment of science; there statistically must be a female Einstein or Newton and she better get the chance to shine.

Like fuck I would.

If I wanted to know about trash I'd ask the trash collector.

Likewise If I wanted to know about iPhones I would go to an iPhone... Guy. Because that's his *speciality*. Sure it's safe to share the latter would be more educated than the former but doesn't mean he knows he know Jack about stuff outside his field and I'd take his views with a pinch of salt because of it.

Just look at all YouTube videos by people with maths or engineer degrees pushing how the earth is only 4000 years old or Man coexisted with dinosaurs.


If Bob the Garbo was also the associate professor of theoretical physics I wouldn't turn my nose up at him because he drove garbage trucks for a living (Metaphorically of course, probably have to do it literally because yes that shit smells).

Academic prestige doesn't always translate to paying the bills.

Sorry to go full liveblog on you, I just flip out in a Tumblr induced rage that have in my when people tell me what I 'really' think.

You know type. 'Sure you *say* you're not a racist but i'm sure you cross the road when you see a black man...'

Anyway yeah, if I had to pick between the two. Of course I've pick being Steve Jobs over the trashman. it pays more and means less physical drudgery. But I would act like I was better because of it. Just that the job was better.

Yes, and your post claiming to earnestly hold trashworkers in equal regard as everyone else while simultaneously wishing to be regarded as a rational person threw me into a similar hissy fit.

Anyway, uh, yeah I don't like being told what people think I 'really' think either, but the example you gave is more or less the same. The discomfort is more in the confronting an inaccurate belief about yourself than the delivery though I think. I assumed that you're a rational person and told you what a rational person would think; so what?

Now I'm trying to be reasonable here... but come on dude. You can't use the fact you succeeded in pissed me off as *evidence* that you were must've been correct.

You pissed me off because telling me what I 'really' think is a surefire way of pissing me off. Which you yourself said you find annoying.

But yeah I'll bit. There's more prestige in being a computer program a guy than a guy who picks up trash. Who wouldn't want that? I certainly do.

...I'm still gonna give you shit though for thinking you're the other guy but.

Because fuck it, praise is the one-way street with me. Why bother praising the jobs of others? The reason I have the same respect for the guy building my next phone and picking up my trash is becuase it's not about personal effort or achievement it's about what they can do for me ME.

And back to the matter at hand, that's probably why women should go into STEM.

Not because the field need bright hard working women or anyhing but because hey the pay is good and it's a cushy office job right?

>Do you believe there is some biological or social reason they don't enter?

Yes, but I don't know why this is always blown way out of proportion. Like to admit there's a biological reason that makes women who have an affinity for maths rarer means you're a sexist dinosaur, or that to be for women in stem you have to pretend that there's no biological difference. You can be neutral on the gender of your scientists and accept that there will be more of one type for biological reasons for the same reason there are more black men in the 100m sprint and more men in professional soccer teams necessitating the invention of women's leagues.

>Furthermore, are you biased towards girls who do enter these fields?

I have a deep suspicion of people who self-identify with some sort of group and cling to it. Like women who make a big deal of women in STEM. Omg guise there's a women in STEM conference tomorrow all the girls should come! Having a vagina and reading physics books is so hard :(.

If they're just a regular student scientist I couldn't give less of a shit. I will assume their chosen subject is probably medical physics or astronomy and that they don't like the maths or programming aspects of physics though, because 95% of the time it's true.

I can guarantee that any girl who goes into mathematics is just some upper-middle class liberal who will drop it the second she gets bored of trying to look threatening to men.
If there happens to be a girl who likes mathematics and still retains her modesty and her charm then I should like to marry her promptly.

>How do you guys feel about girls entering science or even the really hard mathematics-oriented fields?
It's great, most of our fields badly need more women
Sausage parties are not fun

>biological reason
Nope, if it was biological we'd have more women (they're better at sitting still for 8 hours doing tedious busywork, see ADHD rates for an obvious example)

>social reason
Yes obviously, since society pretty much sends the message that these fields are for turbonerds with no social skills

>Furthermore, are you biased towards girls who do enter these fields?
Since i'm attracted to women, I can't say "No" with certainty, since subconsciously i'm sure I'm at least a little biased towards people I find attractive.
However, I try not to ever let that interfere with serious work.
