It's because pretty women start working hard and then realize they could do just as well in life by marrying a successful man.

A lot of them go through the schooling and then realize they don't have to waste the time or energy on a difficult career when they could just have a husband that does it for them.

And can you really blame them? Vagina is the world's most valuable currency and you have a practically limitless bank account when you're a woman. (An attractive woman, at least)

This is why the vast majority of females who choose to get a Ph.D. are disgusting looking.

Hell, you can even notice this trend in upper-division courses in an undergraduate degree.

Depends who you ask obviously, not all people are suckers like that.
Personally I would never be with somebody unaccomplished. And yes there is a clear link between looks and accomplishments, beautiful people have it easy. Another byproduct of this is their often terrible personalities.

That would mean tipping the scales. You already have equality.

If you want more female scientists, do a science degree instead of a Women's Studies degree. Then we'd have 1 more.

You're looking at the situation at the endgame though. The question is at earlier stages are the systemic social forces which dissuade women from pursuing these fields.

The forces are that women aren't interested in sitting for hours coding. It doesn't interest them.

>number of men in hairdressing industry is small
>hairdressing industry is sexist and bigoted

Female logic.

>> No.5693019

I think if many people have traditional cultural ideas that are backwards, then it makes sense to institute extra 'support' for affected groups to compensate.

In the interest of creating a level field so meritocracy can then be more effective in selecting for actually relevant stuff like skill/talent/education/drive.

So if that means providing a little more help to traditionally disadvantaged communities or females to first level the playing field, then that's reasonable in my opinion and in society's long-term interests.

Besides, I'm not a selfish person. I can appreciate when good things are afforded to other people and I have a comfortable standard of living.

I think some of the people who disagree make jokes about 'unchecked privilege' but in reality they have a victim complex; they want to be seen as a tragic hero of sorts, the elite that are forced to sacrifice for the good of others, and thus fail to give proper consideration to those from traditionally disadvantaged backgrounds.

Probably but at this point I'm not even sure the social forces we have had for the past century or so matter anymore.

I dare say we already selected out most of the women who would be interested in such fields a long time ago.

All we are seeing now is the fallout from our mating choices our ancestors made being exposed.

Are you saying a women genuinely interested in science and math naturally, would be dissuaded by the schooling system to completely pursue something else she is not interested in?

If you agree with the statement you quoted then you are saying women are not passionate/strong enough to stand up for themselves and hold firm decisions for themselves when someone else tells them no

All you are doing is carrying the victim mentality for women and want to irrationally carry them through careers
