Because misogyny

In “Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science?,” Eileen Pollack, head of the creative writing MFA program at the U. of Michigan, devotes 8,000 words to the churning passions that accompanied her return to Yale, where she was a physics major in the mid-1970s before losing all interest in science and math. Why, she cries out, did society not persuade her to pursue “the prospects, prestige, intellectual stimulation and income” that come with attending grad school in astrophysics?

Why?

Contemporary feminism is quite simple:

If men are at fault for you not being able to do whatever it is you want to do, blame men.

But if women are at fault, blame society or American culture or the media or institutional sexism or whatever.

How many will dare call you on your verbal sleight of hand? Who will even notice? And after a while, you won’t notice it, either.

That was a clean kill, man.

Thats noone of your business

Because the grammatication is seskist patririachy!c And punctutification!

Seriously, these people choose not to study math, but they don't study English either?

And no, no sane feminist would study in a STEM field, because then she'd actually have to work once all men are disposed of.

Disagrees with their parasitic nature.

So true- more women than men actively seek out degrees that show no promise of future financial stability.

We can't expect little babies to know math and science but they are smart enough to earn a woman's studies degree. :-)

I took a STEM class over the summer, and most of the students were male. That class had no pre-requisites, and anyone in the college could take it, regardless of their major. Most women simply choose not to major in a STEM field, no matter how many incentives they have.

Feminists want more women in STEM. Not them, just other women...because fuck that STEM working hard shit.

The numbers taking gender studies are so low that even if we switched them all to "STEM" subjects tomorrow it wouldn't show up above the statistical background noise.

I believe she was talking about the misogyny inside the STEM fields, like from male peers and TAs. If you're a feminine woman in STEM, you can be 100% sure someone would accuse you of using affirmative action, or at least treat you with that in mind.

Either way, what the fuck does this have to do with men's rights?
