Sexism in STEM

Yet, in no area where women are outshining men is there a quota or special programs or monies for "men-only". This is about female supremacy, not equality.

I'm so glad this is getting brought up because I had a little to say. Firstly though, as a former COSC student and someone who works in the field I think this article is too much of a hit piece. If anything, the girls in my class were some of the hardest working students because they had more eyes on them, and from the applicants we see for internships and the schools I visit the girls are starting to perform exceptionally.

Anyway - All I hear about STEM is that there isn't enough young women going into it. Has anyone taken a step back and looked at why men go into STEM feilds? Specifically because I was reading about why young men don't student gender studies.

Firstly, men feel the pressure to earn money that women are free from. They feel like they can't blow university on an art or music degree etc. they'd enjoy and later marry and look after a child. That's just not a social acceptable option.

Secondly, who is advocating for all of the young men marginalized by society so much they feel the only option is to interact online or with a computer? A lot of bright kids turn to STEM fields when they aren't successful at traditionally masculine areas. It's only later in life they reap any benefits from this, and they still have to work hard to do so.

There will be more women in STEM fields when we finally start to address why it isn't socially normal for a man to be a primary school teacher or nurse instead of only pumping more money into girls education when they are already clearly out performing boys.

Interesting article

Very sexist. /s

To prove if this anecdotal evidence is true, research would be needed.

This research can not be unbiased in today's feminist dominated University and Politics climate.
