1	Tell Me More about that "Male Privilege" Again... Can I get a source for that? That sounds interesting...	/r/MensRights	30/08/17 07:39 PM
19	When I ask women why girls get much better grades in school, they usually say they are just naturally better at studying etc. When I ask women why men earn more than women, it's discrimination. As someone in STEM, logic should be easy though... You're used to the way of thinking and many concepts directly relate to math or programming. You've started that class with much more experience then they ve had.	/r/MensRights	17/06/17 05:41 PM
1	BBC admits its viral “women write better code” story was fake news I'd love to see some references. Genuinely interested.	/r/MensRights	29/12/16 08:14 AM
8	BBC admits its viral “women write better code” story was fake news You're conflating two issues. I never stated the new generation would be better skilled. I stated the interest disparity would evolve away.	/r/MensRights	28/12/16 07:29 PM

30	BBC admits its viral “women write better code” story was fake news There is a good Planet Money episode on the women in coding thing. In the really early days: there didn't used to be a gender gap at all. It's only when the earliest PC's arrived and were sold through typical male outlets (radioshack and such) that the gap started to occur. The PC being sold from typically male stores lead to PCs being strongly advertised toward men and created the image of a PC as a tinkering tool, kinda like drills or chainsaws. This then fed back into higher education, where …	/r/MensRights	28/12/16 06:12 PM
3	Trending on Urban Dictionary I've been unable to relocate that exact study (so if you have a link do let me know) but if if I remember it correctly, the statistics from that paper are also horribly misused. As far as I can recall the paper did find that men interrupt more than women. However, men were equal opportunity interrupters: interrupting men and women at the same rates. The paper also found that women tended to interrupted other women at higher rates than they interrupted men. As such, the overall pattern was indeed…	/r/MensRights	01/12/16 12:15 AM
