99% of men feel that this is a lie.

Fuck their "feelings" what do FACTS say?

And?

That they are underrepresented is a fact. That they graduate in fewer numbers from STEM related education is also a fact. That they apply to get into STEM related education at much lower levels is also a fact. It almost seems like the latter links of the chain are dependent upon the choices made in the earlier links, n'est pas?

I'm perfectly fine with women's subjective and emotional experience be given certain priority. It should be done while openly acknowledging the bias, though.

So? I feel underrepresented in boardrooms. I’m a white man and they certainly aren’t representing me. They aren’t representing anyone but themselves.

Besides which, think about what this implies. I can’t say think about what it means, because they don’t actually explain what it means and I can’t find their source. If you’re a woman in STEM, your presence itself argues that representation isn’t what’s keeping women’s numbers down. If you’re not a woman in STEM, why not? Any reason you could give could be given by any other non-STEM woman, why is it a valid excuse for you and not them? Why do they have a responsibility to represent you?
