Why Men Succeed in STEM: Spatial Cognition - intrinsic sex differences contradicts feminists' social constructionism

All you have to do is artificially inflate female HS grades and deflate male HS grades, and displace males from STEM college studies by giving DEI scholarships to underqualified female applicants, and bingo: you have a ton of female STEM grads and a reduction in the number of males who even went to college because their spots were taken by underqualified females who went to school for reduced cost or for free.

Then you get to say that in your industry, driven by private equity forced DEI initiatives, that women are taking over STEM jobs while men just can't compete when they aren't given preferential treatment.

Women aren’t interested in hard STEM for the same reason Chad Dickums isn’t interested in hard STEM and chooses a business degree instead - he was always able to mess around and be fast tracked into finance/middle management without much help.

Women aren’t interested in engineering for the same reason I’m not interested in joining the military, trade school, or a gang - I was raised in comfort and had access healthcare, structure, and schooling.

Women aren’t interested hard STEM for the same reason Kardashian spawns dont try to compete against ugly kids for internships to Big Tech - her beauty and social advantages open doors.

Average women aren’t interested in hard STEM - why compete against a complete gauntlet of unwanted men and a few ugly gals with no social life who are hoping to demonstrate extrinsic value in the labor market….when they have intrinsic advantages?

This is an incorrect and very ignorant explanation. All of STEM does not depend on spatial reasoning, and women have the same overall mathematical ability as men. Women are just less interested in the sciences and related jobs and choose not to enter those fields.

At the very extreme in all fields depending on intelligence there are more men, due to increased variability in male intelligence. But this is at a genius level not the typical worker. It also means there are more male idiots.

I believe human beings are diverse and that includes some characteristics crossing the stereotypical male/female assignment to varying degrees, so that you could have a "woman" interested in STEM because they have some "male" characteristics related to that area. The most extreme example is gender dysphoria, where the diversity is so extreme an individual has a brain wired opposite to their apparent physiological gender.

Therefore, it is not really correct to talk about men and women as binary stereotypes when I would hazard a guess that many are diverse. That doesn't mean that stereotypical male and female characteristics don't exist, they do, as a matter of biological function in sexual reproduction distinct roles, however not everyone is stereotypical to varying degrees.
