They're not good at it BECAUSE they have different priorities. The average woman is much more interested in people than in things, while for men this is the other way round. The result is that more women go into fields that involve people, such as medicine, and more men go into fields that are about things, such as engineering and physics.

Who cares? That's completely irrelevant considering there's a larger percentage of men with higher IQ which translates directly into success later in life.

Science and progress in science is not a simple linear progress. Jut working on Riemann hypothesis hypothesis for 10 years, for example, doesn't mean it will produce a solution.

There's a bunch of retards out there, especially in teaching profession, who assume you can just practice something and become a genius. That's beyond idiotic.

Not only that but considering how many teachers are female and how many of them are (sub)consciously feminists, there's a bias against boys.

Not him, but, in most developed countries, the average IQ of men and women are very close. A study in the US found that the bell curve for women's IQ was narrower than men's, which could explain why there are many more men in academia then women. However, this doesn't hold true in other countries.

[Anonymous No.7423119]

>>7423097
>Are you also denying that women have lower IQ than men?
On certain tasks, this is likely quite true. However proper test design has to be taken into account and to what degree it meaningfully reflects the whole. I scored quite highly on an IQ test in my mid teens (because I was clear dysfunctional and broken, they were likely looking for marked deficits), but it's likely more because I have a clustering of traits that make tasks like an IQ test trivial. Back then I had extremely good spatial reasoning, working memory, latency between stimuli and reaction (producing a correct result), etc. I blew away a lot of people, male and female, and this was professionally administered in a controlled medical setting by a neurologist.

However, I have a personality prone to fracturing. I hallucinate frequently, experience rapid shifts where I completely lose access to information and logic I've accumulated, and I'm a near homeless high school drop out that works like a flickering lightbulb at best.

I buried my score when I got it because while I knew it was likely near worthless, I feared it would falsely cloud my judgement. Never stops seeming absurd, people's fixation on IQ. There is clearly a sharp contrast between IQ scores and actual functional results. How banal, how myopic, how useless.

There are actually studies on this, you know.
> http://phys.org/news/2013-05-gender-gap-stem-majors-linked.html
> "We show that very little of the gender gap in STEM major selection is due to differences between men and women in their desire to have children or in their standardized math test scores, grades or science coursework in high school,"
> "The weak effect of work-family goals contradicts a lot of popular theories that claim that women choose motherhood over science,"

Anyway, this is only in the USA. In Canada, it's quite different. I don't have stats, but at the schools I went to, a significant majority of university students are female in basically every program, and the discrepancy goes up as you get into grad school. My undergrad comp sci cohort was 40% female. I did physics in grad school, and it was 50% at both places. Two of the most traditionally male-dominated fields... and they're hardly so now. The graduate chem and biology programs were almost entirely female.

I'm a male postdoc in astrophysics, and here's my take on this.

1. Women have a biological clock to have kids/start a family. Women above 35 have a MUCH harder time finding a husband than men finding wives when they are above 35. Getting into science takes A LONG TIME. This keeps women away.

2. 4chan likes to pretend sexism doesn't exist. It does, and it begins early on. Women aren't expected to pursue STEM related fields when they are in middle/high school, while boys are. Its social upbringing, and I think it's too late to change this.

3. Women are less competitive then men. Science is insanely competitive to get in to. Women are generally less aggressive/competitive then men.

4. This last one is just what I have seen in my experience. I don't know if this is backed up by fact, but it does seem to be true. Women are more average then men. Lets pretend that IQ measures intelligence accurately. There will be fewer men in the 90-110 IQ bracket then women. On the other hand, there will be more men with very high IQs and very low IQs. Again this part is just my personal experience, and I don't know if this is true.

Feminism. Literally. For some strange reason, women in religious dictatorships are interested in Science, and women who can get access to the best education in the world are interested in Gender Studies.

However, let's understand that just because women participate, or even graduate, at higher rates than men in these countries, women don't actually find employment that uses their new-found education. Iran banned women from many subjects because of this.

So, in the west, the rise of feminism will be accompanied by a literal no-nothing smugness. The future female leaders of the west simply won't have the education to lead the nation, yet will demand positions of power.

In the east, feminism will continue to be opposed. The women there will acquire exceptional scientific skills, which will be harnessed by the men who run their societies for world-domination. The political context already exists for anti-feminist, anti-westernism. When the west starts to fall, while the east rises, the argument will be made that feminism caused it's fall from dominance.

The final nail in the coffin will come when western nations begin to emulate the successful eastern countries. The entire world order will collapse into a worldwide, patriarchal feudalism.

Combine this with religious extremism and immortality, and the future looks like Dune. We've even started consuming something called "Spice."

People get offended by arguments from biology because they automatically treat correlations, however slight, as ironclad laws.

So if you are saying that women are less likely than men to be interested in science, people assume you are trying to say that women cannot and should not do science, when obviously this may not be case.

And they fail to realize that, as always, correlations do not diminish (or augment) the accomplishments of any individuals.

>Ask any student if they prefer a male or female science teacher and they will all say male unless she was attractive.
No. Although my biology teacher had an attractive intern.

I'm apt to fight with the majority male teachers, or perhaps it's more accurate to say they're apt to fight with me. With the majority of personality types, I simply do not get along. As a kid that was certainly true, I seemed to only be capable of two states: passive detachment, and constant conflict. Male teachers don't like me for whatever reasons, and I didn't care much for them. Though it isn't necessarily universal either. There's a lot to be said for that actually, as far as understanding biases and dynamics between students and teachers, that goes well beyond my own tendencies.

Female teachers on the other hand tend to be more fluid. There's usually no friction. I like it because the presence of force is typically minimal. The science teacher I remember best was my 10th grade biology teacher. Though my 8th grade science teacher was male, and he was pretty decent.

Etc. TL;DR, I'd be slightly more apt to choose a female teacher. Male teachers go into depth where it's needed no more consistently than females. I never connect with anyone either way, so the notion of "foreign thought processes" becomes null to begin with, it's always a lossy translation.

Not him but the argument seems to have gone like this:
>why do women in countries where they have the most autonomy tend toward non-STEM if the some oppressive structure is keeping them out of it?
>Indian parents push their kids harder
>How do you know this
>an anecdote about Indian parents
>The Indian parents they meet are likely the highly motivated/capable individuals who left their countries, making it a totally insufficient source for how things are done in India itself

Actually its quite well documented that the difference between science and social science and corresponding gender disparity found in enrolment is precisely caused by the freedom of choice generated by Western cultures. 2nd/3rd world countries' women often decide to go into more empirical subjects (engineering and such) because they feel more of a responsibility to be a provider.

Ok, then yeah, my opinion on the discrepancy in india is just speculation on my observations. But the main argument in this thread is why women don't get into stem. There is still more male engineers in india, so I don't understand your point.

They told other stories other than math so it isn't like that, but both of them are pretty smart people. That was probably just an example since it was only at calc III level. The guy just genuinely seems to love what he does

>>7424633
Yeah, I think that would be awesome to do to be honest. They apparently worked on a couple of papers together, although i never read them.

Maybe its because the girls in your school weren't interested in science. Stop going around blaming society when women just aren't as interested in STEM fields as men are. Just because it's a trend doesn't make it oppression, it just is what it is.

Because according to Wikipedia, the male/female sex ratio of autism and assburgers averages at about 4:1. The similar, predominantly female associated Rett syndrome doesn't grant superpowers.

they have babies, and become mothers that need to nature the baby, they could get nannies but that's no way to treat a baby. or don't have babies and focus on science, but then they don't have a relative to continue improving science. they also might not be socially encouraged to do science, and if a girl does chose to do science she can be further discouraged from others not believing she is capable. but women in science exist, these are women who don't care what others think and persevere through these trials, meaning they truly wanted to do science and deserve to do it. that and women are given quotas so they can get into science.

I only know a handful of 9/10 Russian Phds, but otherwise, the females doing their Bachelors are just giggling surrounded by orbiters and copying their homework. Once they have their undergrad, they usually switch to some management master.
