Yes, only a scientific view of the world will conclude the following:

Making fun of entire group of people (gender, race, religion, etc) is definitely going to turn some people away. Sure there'll be a few who stay with it, but some are going to be scared off if they're being 24/7. And why not? No one wants that (obviously).

If they're going to be bothered by tasteless jokes, then maybe those groups of people should seek a different site to visit.

If the dudes running science depts said "tits or gtfo" to female students, then I'm sure that would dissuade them from going into the sciences. However, coming to a forum where sexist/racist/anythingist jokes are the norm and being at all affected by said jokes is just stupid and perhaps a fair indicator of incompatibility with any discipline requiring the use of reason.

Good point. If I had heard this much slander against women in the real world (though I'm sure some people think it), I would never ever major in physics (obviously).

I'm not saying "sticks and stones." I'm saying, "don't expect behavior from a community incongruent to existing descriptions of it." If a chick came to /sci/ because of a genuine interest in the sciences, then I doubt any regurgitated meme would change her mind about it. She might be bothered enough to never visit 4chan again, but it wouldn't ruin science for her.

I think that makes sense, but it can be enough for a chick who's never been on 4chan before. The first time I went on, I thought wtf? Some bitches are dumb enough to be scared off (again, because some chicks are retarded).
I'm just saying it'd be better NOT to be hypocritical, as in saying "Why don't girls like scientists?" and "Tits or gtfo" in the same breath.

I sincerely hope that your repeated mentioning of how stupid the rest of the female population is will endear you to the good wholesome /sci/ folks. Does slander against the rest of your gender make you feel more like one of the people on here? In that very reasoning, you become less like everyone else.

And when (to a lesser extent) the same mindset is present almost everywhere?
When its a safe be that the same type of ideas will follow you to each group you attend?
To any education you try to get?
To any job you apply for?

You don't go into science, you end up with a part time job you don't care about, or as a reluctant housewife.

And then /sci/ will claim the disparity in aplication numbers is proof that "women don't want to go into science.

Also, I think I was just trolled.

>> No.5347274

>>5347246

I'm sorry, because you're clearly making every effort to be reasonable, but I still can't get behind that. I'm offended by the implication that chicks need any sort of special treatment when they're online. I mean, we don't worry about guys in engineering getting scared away by the daily "lel, your field is oversaturated and gay" comments.

It's not easy to make it in a field like this, especially since there're still a fair chunk of guys in STEM who are passively sexist and assume you don't know what you're talking about. The kind of blatant, empty jokes that a chick'd encounter here are the least of her concerns.

I think you misunderstood.

The point of "tits or gtfo" is to prevent the conversations which inevitably ensue if you declare yourself to be a girl, rather than simply not mentioning your sex. Stupid nerds start very gently hitting on the girl, the girl loves and encourages the attention, and it slowly gets ridiculous. Or else it's just terrible from the beginning.

If it's actually relevant to what you have to say, then say you're a girl. Otherwise, just don't mention it, like every single guy on 4chan.

In a way, I always thought it to be more of a polite way of saying that if you're a female on the internet, you do not deserve to be fawned over or given preferential treatment. Barring showings your tits, which is the main thing that seems to empower most females in other social settings, it keeps them from bitching about all the sexist remarks.

Not a troll. I think we're having some kind of communication issue. I acknowledge the sciences can be a difficult field for women because of the mindsets you've mentioned.

My only argument is that the "bigotry" you encounter here is generally in good-nature and a part of the accepted culture. Moreover, it's used on everyone, not just women. If the behavior on any *chan bothers a person, then that's a personal issue easily rectified by not visiting 4chan.

>> No.5347314

>>5347309
I felt like mentioning that as per the constant queries on /b/ for tits, when it really shouldn't be used like that. There's nothing wrong to me if a girl feels like chilling on 4chan or any other typically sexist area. It just bothers me when people constantly are so off putting to otherwise perfectly alright girls, who don't ask for any special treatment.

tl;dr I'll ask for tits.

>> No.5347471

>>5347314
>who don't ask for any special treatment.
Stating that you are a female in a site primarily composed of sexually repressed nerds is essentially a call for special treatment even if there's no intent.

We have resolved this issue at least back in 2006. Just stick with the hatefully-silly online ettiquette, I don't want to sound like a pragmatist or a stuck up traditionalist but if it works, and nobody gets trully hurt, why change it?

Edison still was more of a pattent mongerer than an actual inventor though...

Though trial and error are the basis of scientific method, not having a theoritical background on your experiments doesn't exactly constitute scientific thinking.

Hello tru /sci/fags

I want to admit my interest for science is brand new. It just started with me reading Stephen Hawking and then searching for some of the terms on youtube to find minutephysics, vsauce, scishow and such. I've learned lots and been a pretencious science fag in social events. But after coming to /sci/ I realize how I know nothing and I'm far from being a smart guy. Hence, I introduced myself to the thread.
