What's stopping the women who want to get into science from doing so, and how many are unable to do so VS men? That's what you need to look at.

What you're arguing is like saying the percentage of male yoga instructors is only 15% and this needs to be fixed! Seriously, are there tons of men really yearning to be yoga instructors who are being forced out of the industry by women? This is the kind of thing OP is alluding to. Why go through all the trouble to fix an arbitrary ratio number it it won't fix any real problems?

Realistically tho, somewhere out there a women's activist pondered this question. "how do we make women as professionally respectable as men? Scientists are respectable, maybe if we had more female scientists women would be more respected!!" Without even considering if there are more women who want to be scientists, this person uses PR to force women to take a career in science that they'd otherwise not be inclined to. As it's not their favored choice they'll probably do poorly at it and will just women in general look bad or stupid. The logic is not only faulty, it's counter productive and self defeating.

That's called market socialism, à la Richard Wolff and Proudhon. But I don't agree with them.
Even if every company was worker-owned, it would just be groups workers owning individual firms that compete with each other. The downward pressure on socially-necessary labor time, the production of goods for exchange, alienation, the law of value, practically all of Marx's critiques of capitalism would still apply in such an economy. I don't consider it genuine socialism unless all production is controlled by the working class as a whole desu.

"People are equal" only has merit under laws and rights. It's ludicrous to think we are actually equal to the bone.

That, in any way, doesn't mean we should adopt retarded policies thay segragate against some group, but we are not going to expect the same numbers, neither I belive these differences make a group "superior". Now, there's no one that can, without a shadow lf a doubt tell you, we are 100% product of nature/nuture or an exact percantge of both, but it seems the answer is not clear and we cannot just state that it all water down to fucking misoginy.

Society didn't sprung put of fucking nowhere, and there's massive amounts of evidenxe suggesting we evolved from other mamales/primates, and you cannot deny the archeological evidence suggesting that even our hunter-gatherer cousins had clear gender roles.

All this is, just because there's thus weird tumbleresc notion of equality without really any real reason for it. That means we should opress people or assume they will fail? No, just let them do the same fucking exam and see how we do. The thing is, I don't expect if it's 50/50 after all is right with this world, or maybe it is, but it's a completley irrelevant number that doesn't favour any hypothesis. What we could do is go and raise our childs all using legos, but I think we have observed differences in how they play at an early age too.

He's right. Capitalism, for the most part, is a meritocracy. Rewarded are those who work hard, approximately. In reality, rewards go to those who provide the most valuable work, not the best, but there aren't many differences between the two. Capitalism puts a value on people's time and lets them exchange it for goods, doesn't get much simpler, and it's a far cry better than distributing wealth solely in ways that incentivise a lack of work. If you could get paid more for the same job because your needs are more, then people are self-consciously going to ensure that their needs are more. It's this instinctual selfishness that causes communism to fail and capitalism to succeed.

But ensure that you aren't getting crony capitalism mixed up with theoretical capitalism.

You can't enforce property rights without force and violence brainlet. Capitalists countries have engaged in thousands of brutal wars and violent dictatorships.

No it isn't meritocratic in the slightest. Who you're parents are decided pretty much exactly where you're going to be in life. Plenty of studies have shown that those who were born rich stay rich and those that born poor and middle class just get poorer. You have to be a stupid asshole or living in a social democratic country with low income inequality to believe that shit. "Crony" capitalism doesn't exist. It's literally no different from saying that real communism hasn't been tried yet. What you see now is what capitalism looks like.

What we've been doing has actually been a detriment to science since we've been promoting women who are not qualified into courses and majors they're unqualified for into fields and jobs they're unqualified for and not firing them simply to keep numbers up.

This isn't the 10th century, I'm not going to become a blacksmith because that's what my father does. I know there are studies countering your point on "the rich stay rich", the turnover rate of the 1% is surprisingly high. The poor stay poor because muh bell curve. But it's a question of ethics as to whether you let people inherit the money from their parents. Wanting the best for your children is instinct, so it only stands to reason that having your children inherit your fortune when you die incentivises hard work. We live in an era when anybody born in a modern country can enter a university on a loan and get the qualifications they need/want to start making money, and that's disregarding all the scholarships out there. We're not stuck in some system where poor people can only get jobs that pay badly. If there's anything unequal about inheritance, I'd say your intelligence and genes matter more than any money. Removing the plutocrats who contribute nothing to society and haven't earned a cent, feeding their money back to those who need it better isn't a bad idea, but in reality it doesn't make much difference since this number of people is fairly small. The majority of those who could be considered wealthy have earned it themselves, sometimes with the help of a small loan of a million dollars.

Personally I think that a society where family doesn't exist and all children are brought up under equal circumstances by (robot) parents would be an interesting experiment, if not a possible ideal scenario, since the inheritance effect on work ethic probably isn't too major. Possible issues include lack of diversity of thought, child indoctrination, and rebellion.

In capitalism, however, rewards go to the guy who owns the infrastructure that the other guy uses to do the most valuable work, while the guy doing the work himself receives a small fraction of what he produces.
Capitalists do not make their money by working, they make it by owning. Ownership is not a socially useful step in producing something. It's merely an exclusive claim on some productive property, backed by organized violence of the state. All it does is enable a small minority to heavily tax the work of others without producing anything themselves

>But ensure that you aren't getting crony capitalism mixed up with theoretical capitalism.
Econ 101 is basically "people respond to incentives." Rent-seeking and suppressing your competitors through government cronyism are incentivized, so guess what happens? Subverting competitors and artificially meddling in product, resource, labor and capital markets is the daily bread of business strategy, my dude. We see every business that lacks access to a state apparatus - to defend its property rights, favorably distort the market, and advantage it over its competitors - effectively makes its own and sends around organized thugs to defend its interests. Drug gangs are an example. Is this because drugs are scary and illegal and so inherently violent? No, it's because undermining your competition through means besides the "free market" is pretty consistently incentivized. The modern state is merely a more efficient alternative, which is why we got things like world wars instead of AK-toting, balaclava-clad General Motors goons in pickup trucks.

Capitalism too is inherently violent, as there is no way to protect private property without the use of force. And from a socialist point of view, the passive profit made from owning a workplace is state-sanctioned theft from the workers.

As for the point about hierarchy, I think we can agree that money is power under capitalism. This means society gives power to those who can develop one specific skill: making as much money as possible. Of course you're going to have people like Elon Musk who made their money by making genuinely positive contributions to society, but for every Elon you have a dozen people like Don Blankenship, Fred C. Koch, Martin Shkreli, Jordan Belfort, etc.

Without the yoke of capital, individuals could only rise in status and power by contributing to the well being of their communities and to society as a whole.The most influential members of society would necessarily be the people whose efforts have done the most to build a better world for themselves, their families, and the world.

How? Their applications are evaluated in the same way, they take the same exams, and their exams are marked in the same way. There's no institutional or systemic advantage that men have.
Plus every university is eager to get more women in STEM because that earns them progressivism points, and it could reflect negatively on them if they don't, when legions of people take any unequal representation to be de facto evidence of inequity even when there's not a single example of inequity to be found. Furthermore, most REUs and similar opportunities reserve half of their spots for women and minorities, giving them special consideration over everyone else for exactly this reason.
The systemic preferences which do exist are all strongly in favor of women, and still not enough are interested for us to have gender parity. "Equality in STEM" today mostly just means "make access to STEM opportunities even more unequal."

Most of that is recent and much of it window dressing. Why did the percentage of CS graduates that are women plunge so much in the late 20th and ear!y 21st centuries? The most likely culprit is parents giving boys computers while shooing girls away to play with what their parents believed were appropriate toys for girls. These boys grew up to believe computers were their exclusive domain and reacted negatively when women tried to enter that space.

Absolutely ridiculous. If you were born in the nineties or later, almost every family had a computer. With the internet especially, it's never been easier to explore your interests and to learn something you're interested in. If you had any hint of passion in a subject, you'd have discovered it, and you'd have pursued it. How come the people who go to tip flight graduate schools in math are comfortable with analysis, algebra and topology coming right out of high school? Oh, must be because their parents told them to. Their parents who, statistically, never even learned calculus, and don't know what real math is. Kek
Also it's so obvious that it barely needs mentioning, but "got a computer as a kid" has almost nothing to do with "being encouraged towards CS."
All you're really saying is "women are interested in the wrong things, because their parents raised them wrong." But interests are highly mutable and self-determined - I was consistently pushed toward the humanities by my parents, but now I'm doing chemistry, because reading erowid as a teenager showed me I really want to be a synthetic chemist. There's a certain absurdity in accepting that kids at 14 are mature enough to choose their own classes and be responsible for learning the material and performing in those classes in a way that will affect their entire college trajectory, while also claiming that we cannot determine ourselves or escape the "interests" chosen for us by our parents.

I'm not saying it's not important, I just think this rabid fixation on identity politics is an inherent part of capitalist ideology. Instead of pursuing their economic self-interest, the prevailing ideology has the workers align themselves with their race, gender, etc, and advocate for the interests of their in-group rather than their actual, material interests. Anything that divides the working class along identitarian lines preserves capitalism and class society.

All I'm saying is being invested in identity politics outside of class analysis as a means to make any real political change is misguided. That doesn't mean you should do nothing when liberals try to push their idpol garbage. By all means, shoot that shit down.

Both fathers can be of any class because there is a point where you, as a young man, start to see that successful people don't have the same habits that unsuccesful people. And you start to act on it, and when you have children you teach them that. And the cycle goes on, until one of your children doesn't listen to you, and the virtuous cycle becomes vicious.

you literally, again, just gave the libertarian free will argument

also that's a retarded argument against it, as if alcoholism isn't more common among the lower class. by every metric you are wrong, because even if you were right -- to simplify this for a brainlet: if i live in a country with 99 other people and i own 99% of the wealth. the other 99 people have to share 1% of the wealth. further, by virtue of owning 99% of the wealth, it is much easier for me to use that to increase my capital at a faster rate. this is what is unequivocally happening around the world. not everyone can be rich, not even close, and this should be obvious

also again the libertarian free will argument is completely brain-dead and im sorry but i'm blocking this thread. it's impossible to argue against brainlets like you, because no matter what I say you can just reply with "yes, but they can just not do that thing"

>aka bureucrats.
aka people who work for the government and are selected by elected representatives. Social issues are up for debate, but in the economic realm workers generally want the same things: the most fulfilling work in the best conditions possible, reasonable and flexible hours, and to enjoy the fruits of their labor in their entirety. If there is a governing body, of course there are going to be bureaucrats, people who work for it. But without capital, the bureaucrats and the administration they work for would have no function or choice other than to pursue workers' interests.

>the sheer amount of bureucracy needed to enforce their decisions would make the "sistem" prone to corruption in a global scale.
No country can perfectly enforce 100% of its rules, but the bigger the country, the more resources and manpower it has at its disposal to do so.

And I don't see why a large-scale democracy would be necessarily prone to corruption. Not to mention that in the absence of capital, political corruption would have to be much different than it is now, and most likely less harmful.

"Scientific" socialism originally was used to distinguish itself from the utopian socialists like Fourier or Owen. It's based on the idea that a government's legitimacy comes from reason alone. But scientific socialism also refers to Marx's theory in general, which were formed based on empirical observations of the capitalist mode of production, and as such are inextricably linked to the social sciences of sociology and economics.

Your assumption is wrong. No matter how you try and force it, men and women are different and they have different interests as a whole.

Yes, to have a meritocracy or act pragmatically we want to optimize overall talent, I agree.
>while minimizing workplace patriarchal toxicity by knowing which male professors to revoke tenure from (a.k.a. the misogynists in math academia)
Uh... what? "Patriarchal toxicity" is not a condition influencing overall talent in an academic department. These are two distinct conditions you're optimizing for. If you've made a selection from a pool of candidates without regard for gender or views such that you've maximized total talent, you cannot subsequently increase total talent by replacing any of the candidates you've selected. You clearly don't worry about the impacts of misandrists on "really good male professors," and I'd guess it's for exactly this reason, as we are talking about personal attitudes and not systemic preference (which does not exist when optimizing talent)

So..what exactly makes a person who possess a vagina and boobs more apt for a career in science? How in the name of tap dancing christ is the 'lack' of women in STEM a fucking problem? STEM is meant to be hard. Medicine is meant to be hard. REAL SCIENCE IS HARD!
If something is easy, every dickhead can get into it and destroy the standards.

Just look at the military, police, firefighters. Any field that women have demanded access to they have worsened and made ineffective.

So if there was a plan to build a wormhole generator or a FLT drive and someone said that the reason these programs are no progressing is because its the lack of women, I would fucking slap the shit out of them.

Women should go into fields that they want. Not be pushed into areas that hey have no aptitude or credibility for.

The reason theres no female Mozart is the reason theres no female Jack the Ripper. _ Camille Paglia

Women cluster around the average. You're much less likely to get exeptional women but also much less likely to find horrible women. It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint when your main purpose is taking care of defenseless children.

The outliers in both good and bad are male

I always get a kick how the so called scientific community is so willfully ignorent off the constraints of evolutionary biology.

Sure, but the reasons seem to remain largely cultural and social, topics that /sci/ hate, so probably you won't get a good answer here.

I find funny that it seems that it is not entirely income related, as poor countries like Brazil, México or Romania have more female researchers than Germany, South Korea or Japan. Then again, I think women have more presence in biological and medical fields, while it is lower in physics, chemistry or maths.

Its not that theres no female baddies, its that they're statistically insignificant to the male baddies the same way female geniuses are insignificant to the male geniuses.
