This and this, I struggled in stem, and then I realized it was because my interests didn't include jerking off to hentai, talking about superheroes or rick and morty 24/7, or playing league of legends all day. Instead I was out drinking, talking to women, and having a fun time.

Then when I became a shutin who only cares about school I increased my gpa 220%, no exaggeration. Am I unhappy because of all the fun I can't have? Definitely. Am I at least glad since I'm going to be able to get a degree in a stem field. Yeah I guess.

Female brain is more oriented towards memorization. It's like bunch of boxes segregated in a neat way for easy access. It works like this:
>identify the problem
>go quickly through memory to find learned scheme that matches
>apply scheme
>reveal what is the answer/goal
It's probably due to more connections between brain halves. Because each half and part of brain is responsible for something else, they have better multitasking ability and memory.

Male brain is more goal oriented and works better in situation opposite to the one mentioned above. It's like pile of clothes in which you have to find 1 sock to have a pair wth the one you already have. It works like this:
>have a goal
>gather avaible information
>proceed to connect parts of informations and schemes together until scheme to reach the goal is discovered
>apply it in practice
It's probably due to more connections between front and back of the brain, which means more connections within separate brain halves, so more processing power for specific tasks at the cost of multitasking abilities.

Now look how problem solving and education methods differ between branches or even classes. Purely technical branches like mechanics, programming etc usually have tasks such as "build bridge/mechanism or wtie program that does x", in other words, you know the goal, you know the final outcome, but you don't know the path to it, how to connect blocks etc to reach the goal. That's where male brain exceels. Non-technological classes are more about memorization and application. Languages is memorization of words and meanings. Lot of medicine is about memorization of symptoms or procedures and applying them. Some STEM parts are also heavily focused on memorization, for example we often teach math by showing schemes of how problems are solved and give tasks to reveal the final answer which matches female brain. That's why within STEM you can see more women in math, biology etc and little to none in mechanics, CS etc.

The other factors are social pressures and needs/poverty level. In poor countries much more women go STEM because STEM is actually useful on daily basis, gives better chance for work and people value being able to get money and afford necessities more than comfort. That's why eastern and southern europe have more women than western and northern europe. South america and Japan on the other hand have much stronger cultural pressure with macho culture and tradition respectively. Not to mention many STEM jobs require physical strength. It'll be easier for a man to screw huge screws or maintain heavy machinery used for the job.

Science is completely neutral. It doesn't give a fuck about your emotions or agenda. If we're at the topic of the IQ, firstly you have to realize what it is and how those tests look and what is needed to pass them correctly and quickly, or in other words, what do they measure. Secondly, studies after studies show noticeable differences in IQ between races or even sexes. And that's where science ends. It just shows. Interpretation and usage of this information is up to people. Someone might consider it no problem and leave it be. Others might consider IQ differences problem and either averange it out by mixing, or by trying to pull those lower on the scale to the level of those being higher, or consider "worse ones" waste and decide to exterminate them. I'm not telling you what to do with those facts, I'm only stating them. Stop letting emotions interfere with your judgement so heavily.
Since you seem to get offended by my posts, I will assume you make another common mistake in data interpretation and not know what it means on averange, and what is normal/Gaussian distribution, how it works, and finally how and where are you using statistics to not mix up anecdotal evidence with statistical data.

And to rub it in a bit more, since I'm in pedagogical university and women tend to gravitate towards teaching jobs in schools more, I'm actually forced to interact with more women than men. In many classes I'm usually one of few males sharing room with few dozens of females.

im still confused as to why youre linking to "studies" of 50 people as if that means anything. And a study of autism at that. Very few people are autistic. Even if tbe study was meaningful, it simply does not apply.

Its just a fact that men and women both utilize both methods you described. Men can be perceptional and analytical. So can women.

Its also an empirical fact that brain structure and function are plastic. Brains can think differently in different situations. Some /pol/ tier nut theory doesnt invalidate the fundamentals of neuroscience.

Girls only enter STEM when they have to. Take note of the fact that the countries with the lowest percentage of females studying STEM are the most egalitarian and gender-neutral countries. This directly contradicts the feminist narrative that it's the patriarchy keeping women from joining STEM like they want to.

Norway, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands - all countries that are a feminist's wet dream - and they are at the bottom of the list for females in STEM

Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Mexico - all countries that definitely have an air of male domination and patriarchy in their culture - yet they are at the top of the list for females in STEM

tl;dr
Females only enter STEM when they have to, and giving them the option is great, but pretending like a lack of female interest in STEm is indicative of a lack of opportunities is patently fraudulent.

Not my point at all. I'm a bio psycho guy myself. My point is that it is a bit of a nothing point. We are biological beings who behave as complex animals so all of our behavior will have some element of biological basis, due to being social animals that form culture all of our behaviors will be related to that in some way, our interests are made from a mixture of both of these.

The study says men are more perceptionary and women are more analytical.

Contrast that with his characterization. Its dishonest at best. He essentially says women are peabrain monkeys incapable of critical thought yet the study says women are more analytical. Its discrimination. Maybe more misogynistic and fraudulent than explicitly discriminatory but yes, then he said womenz stick to language and math, stay out of cs and tbe man territory.

I cant tell if youre intentionally trolling or not. I just said he wrongfully grouped men and women into boxes. Which is nonsense. Women and men can both problem solve the same shit.

I'd say this happens because people naturally search for answers.
As a stem dude I knew a lot of people who couldn't find jobs. As it happens they were not sharp enough to be really proficient in stem. Somehow some people came to conclusion that a degree somehow validates your qualifications and intelligence. It isn't so.
There is a certain group of people who work at getting a degree, but not educating themselves and getting knowledge. When they are out to find jobs they don't get the dream jobs, they are either theoretically over-qualified for the jobs they get or they change the field altogether. Usually these people end up in STEM jobs related to product or paper pushing.
Anyways, now is the time for my statistically irrelevant facts. I know 4 instances of women (this was 20-30 years ago) which got into engineering because of career opportunities. Two of them, after working 10-15 year changed the jobs (as soon as was financially possible), because they felt very unhappy in their jobs. Others pushed till retirement, but said they didn't like the work at all, even though they were very successful, that most men peers.
It takes certain kind of people to get into STEM. I remember some nerdy girls, who were interested in science since childhood and went on successfully to become scientists.
Degree won't magically make you interested in certain subjects. The answer might lie somewhere else.

>Here, I just want to take a step back from the memo controversy, to highlight a paradox at the heart of the ‘equality and diversity’ dogma that dominates American corporate life. The memo didn’t address this paradox directly, but I think it’s implicit in the author’s critique of Google’s diversity programs. This dogma relies on two core assumptions:

>The human sexes and races have exactly the same minds, with precisely identical distributions of traits, aptitudes, interests, and motivations; therefore, any inequalities of outcome in hiring and promotion must be due to systemic sexism and racism;

>The human sexes and races have such radically different minds, backgrounds, perspectives, and insights, that companies must increase their demographic diversity in order to be competitive; any lack of demographic diversity must be due to short-sighted management that favors groupthink.

>The obvious problem is that these two core assumptions are diametrically opposed.

So I'm a female in the United States and I plan on getting a PhD in mathematics (I know I know, there's no reason to, but leave me alone) and my genuine opinion on feminists complaining about not having the opportunity to is that it's a delusion. The only people who cry about women not being "allowed" in STEM are ones that go into literally any other field. I just don't understand how they can say that women don't get the same opportunities in STEM but then also say that I'm making the right choice because everyone wants women in STEM. If anyone even knows what they're trying to say, please help, because I don't.

>> No.9440305

>>9440290
They're crazy and it's good you realize this - you are one of the good roasties.

It's absurd and honestly they must just have mental issues of some sort. These feminists constantly victimize themselves. Realistically STEM is majorly biased in favor of females right now because of gender quotas which mathematically, by necessity, decrease the requirements for females.

>> No.9440344

30 years ago it was true, my mum says she was actively talked out of doing engineering by teachers and employers. Nowadays I think women just aren't interested by it. At the start of my A level class half were girls, by the end they all dropped out and it was all voluntary, none flunked out and I never saw the teacher or any of the boys do anything to make the girls feel uncomfortable. They just found it boring.

>> No.9440540

>>9440434
I can definitely see it being true 30 and + years ago, yeah. However, most girls I know want to go in to STEM and study it. Not sure why that is honestly, but it's odd how different our experiences are. Could be that I'm in highschool so school is kind of screwing around and having to learn what they make us do, so they just chose to focus on STEM for some reason? I know for myself that I'm good at all subjects in school, but only truly interested in mathematics. I study it in my free time and learn ahead of my class a lot. So I personally don't find it boring, but I guess all those girls did. Sorry if what I said makes no sense

There are studies showing that theres a significant amount of girls shying away from stem fields at an early age because they are told directly and indirectly that boys are smarter. This leaves them underprepared for the future. These are studies done today.

I bet if you pressed college women who leave their fields, theyd provide a deeper answer than lack of interest.

How much experience do you have in stem fields? Engineering is a very sexist field filled with ego bloated men who think theyre hot shit for acing ode. Its just a fact that if most people had to choose between their house being built by a man or women, most people would still say man without giving consideration to much else. That makes it hard for women to advance in engineering. Im a guy and I dont want to be around male engineers.

I dont have as much info for pure sciences but academia pure science has a lot of male foreigners from old fashioned cultures where women in science is discouraged. They bring these attitudes to the US.

I am 18 actually, but thank you for the advice. I wasn't claiming to know everything though, I was simply stating what I thought about the subject from my point of view and the other young people I know. But considering in your own post you're talking about girls being told they're not smart enough for STEM at a young age, and I have had the opposite of that experience, I'd like to have some sources for those studies so I can look into your argument properly. Could very well have to do with the fact that I'm white and upper-middle class, like you are insinuating, but I'd like to see the statistics myself.

White uppermiddle class people (of which i am one and was raised one) have a far more mild culture than other races and wealth groups. There is less societal expectation for them to conform to ideas like "math is for boys" though it can still be present.

In my high school, girls and boys were almost split in the AP science and math classes. Its different went you go to college and theres a 30:3 guy:woman ratio in stem classes

If you google "young girls believe they arent as smart" youll find some news articles linking recent studies.

The way it's taught and most exercises can be solved without much understanding heavily bases on memorization. Engineering has much more factors that can't be memorized as easily. Math relies on consistent, logical rules and alone is prettu useless because it's just a powerfull, key tool for stuff that actually tackles real events and needs, like physics and Engineering. Engineering throws you into world with a task, for example building a dam for hydropower plant, where you can't rely only completely on some rules in a void, you have to apply those rules with consideration of natural factors which differ so greatly it's not even worth memorizing them. Math is just a tool. Powerful and crucial, but still a tool.

Idk I think women are just spoonfed. We can talk about nature all we want but environment is without a doubt entirely different. As a man you have to figure out how to figure out everything yourself.

Teachers make the excuse that because you're a man, you're shit. Your attitude is just bad, you are entitled, you're a clown, you just want pussy.. Anything that may rattle through their brain while you're just like... What. That's when you get it. You're standing there with your thumb in your ass because you didn't even know, as a guy you need to be independent. You don't know why but your teachers don't fuckin help. They simply withhold it. The reality is you're a man and you need to figure it out yourself.

With women it's like HIIII ^_> HOW R U whether the teacher is male or female LEMME GIVE UALL THE RESOURCES ONE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE TO SUCCEED

I couldn't exaggerate if I wanted to. Women get to use the computer lab after hours when guys don't even fuckin know there is a computer lab

Throw a girl to the wolves and she'd probably develop real critical thinking skills as well as a man. Instead most women are put on such a linear path of development they may have all the answers but they have no realization of how advantaged they are. And they get mad when you condescend as if you are oppressing them just because you don't REALLY know your shit. I guess being spoonfed is a form of oppression but fuck I didn't make the rules.

There is no such disparity in treating boys and girls in most of european schools. Places which do have such disparity are actually minority of countries. All those SJW, guilt tripping and other shit is happening on a larger scale only in North America and MAYBE some part of Great Britain. Yet, differences in sex ratio in classes are consistent across all aroung the globe. The only thing that could fuck boys over in schools is too much theory compared to practical classes, taking their natural male behavior as some kind of behavioral disability (because not every energetic boy has ADHD, boys have been engaging in more aggresive games since ages and coming up just fine), and being held to different standard when it comes to things like for example hitting opposite sex, but that last one is somewhat rightul since bigger power (even if natural) requires more responsibility. Still girls should be either also put in their place by teachers if they try to hit someone, which isn't always the case, or boys should be allowed to fight back to put them in their place themselves. Obviously they'd win most of the time, but that would be at least lesson of reality, because big gap in physical power exists. Being weaker shouldn't legitimitize you to be allowed to break more rules.
I also remember reading something about teachers having biases towards students of their own, or female sex, and obviously schooling positions are dominated by women, but I can't find the study right now, just news websites that of course once again exceel in incompetence and do not link sources. Maybe because if they would, someone would point out shitty interpretation and clickbait titles they do.

* Why is this btw? I would love to hear other people's theories/experiences with this. Is it because it's the STEM field that is most like a language (in that it requires a lot of root memorization)? I might be completely offbase here, correct me if I'm wrong.
