>When US children are asked to draw a scientist, today roughly one in three will doodle a woman. That’s a major shift since the 1960s and 1970s, when fewer than 1 in 100 kids would depict a female scientist, a new study finds.

How many of these women scientists being drawn have a penis?

If a young boy who doesn't know girls don't have penises draws a woman, does she implicitly have a penis?

How did they decide if the depicted person was a man or a woman?
They must have assumed the gender of the drawing.
Men can dress like women. Women can dress like men.

They should have asked them to draw a naked scientist.
We would learn both about their gender bias as well as their anatomical ignorance.

>this

Just could be more girls see themselves able to make that a dream or a goal.

Trust me OP alot of people are pushing agendas out there but I don't think this is any evidence besides the fact that chicks feel like they have more opertunities. Whether that's good or bad is up to you.

> women scientist
The second biggest mistake after letting women into universities. Also we should cut public funding of science completely. Too much waste.
