2	Not to judge or anything Don't be obtuse. You know that the society we live in affects our thoughts and opinions. I have absolutely felt pressure to be thinner and smaller in height to guys. If I liked a guy and he was smaller than me other people would make comments. I have never allowed that to influence my actions but it does affect me. I put on a small bit of weight, and am still not over weight but no longer very underweight, and when I found out I was heavier than my bf I was really upset. I still sometimes think …	/r/PussyPassDenied	27/04/17 03:47 PM
2	Not to judge or anything This is a shitty attitude to have but I have to say it's mainly cause women are told they have to be the smaller person in the relationship. It is dumb and yeah some girls are just vain, but some guys do the exact same thing. Also how is this a pussypass? Seriously, there's less and less posts about women using gender to win and argument or something and more just 'women are botches' posts!	/r/PussyPassDenied	27/04/17 03:24 AM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap So if a girl is constantly told that something is for boys as a child and excluded from any involvement in Science/Engineering projects at home or school she won't gain an interest in it! Yes men making sexual comments about a female student is sexual harassment, but even at 20 years old it can be incredibly difficult to know how to respond to that situation - especially when you don't have women in the same position of authority as the man making you feel like this. It's not as simple a situati…	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 02:54 PM
2	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap I think you are ignoring the reality of the world so it fits your own ideas of what the world is like. Interests absolutely need to be encouraged in children as they grow. This 'true passion' has to be cultivated by parents, teachers and exposure to it. A kid who kinda likes to paint won't become an artist if they don't have access to the tools needed, information on art and someone to encourage the interest. And please try not to belittle the discomfort women can feel by comments made by older …	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 11:53 AM
2	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap And I'm saying that those ideas about how hard STEM is for girls are told it to girls repeatedly through out their time in primary and secondary education. And any interest is discouraged in many different ways. Does that not make it entirely understandable why they would be reluctant to choose those fields? Especially considering the lack of female role models currently in those fields? Adding in everyday sexism from older males in those departments and from other male students and the lack of …	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 11:04 AM
2	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap I don't think I said that a system was against me, I said that people's attitudes to my interest in Physics were incredibly discouraging because I am a girl. And it was not just friends, it was an attitude I got back from even teachers. People learn these prejudices, they don't appear in a vacuum. I was responding to a criticism that the reason women don't go into STEM is cause they're lazy. It's not unreasonable or demanding for me to say that there are reasons why, and that those reasons are a…	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 10:46 AM
6	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap I can't believe I just read that as a comment about women in STEM. As much as you might not want it to be, there are some fields that are historically 'Boys Clubs'. STEM fields are DEFINITELY one of them. Where I went to college, which had one female professor out of the fifteen or so I had, it's changing but the sciences that girls are going into are still Biology etc. The reason for this is that Physics, Engineering, Computer Sciences ARE still seen as for guys. To say that women are too lazy …	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 10:24 AM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
