“strange paradox” = we had pre-conceived beliefs based upon feelings that turned out to be wrong.

“The upshot of this research is neither especially feminist nor especially sad...”

er... so facts are not necessarily “feminist”. LOL.

So Western women choose easier subjects because they can. Non-western women choose harder subjects because their poor and need to.

Since women aren't allowed to be at fault for any social "problem" this article ends with a face saving way to stop worrying about STEM: Western women follow "their passion" (read: easier subjects). Innate ability is euphemized with innate preference. Whatever.

Just so that everyone is clear, this article has been published just days after this happened:

Yesterday, the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) released a memo written by an attorney, Jayme Sophir, which determined that Google did not violate United States federal law when it fired James Damore. Sophir reasoned that references to psychometric literature on sex differences in personality were “discriminatory and constitute sexual harassment,” and on these grounds, Damore’s firing was justified.

What until they see the "equality numbers" from the Nordic countries that will show when truly given the choice, women in general, run away from the STEM professions faster than picking up the dinner check.
