Sorry to say, but I haven't met a single female who wouldn't vacate the area if discussion turned to resent science headlines.
Reveals their sexism, misogny, ignorance, and believes women can't be intelligent like men based on no evidence except what they believe.
Can't even spell "recent" correctly.
Dropping this here: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/17-top-female-scientists-who-have-changed-the-worl/
17 famous women, pioneers in science, who are much smarter than @random_character_a@lemmy.world
I do think less girls are in the tech, especially mathematics. It could be mysogynistic, but my mother explains this as that most girls are less adept at highly specialized areas, compared to men.
Could be a bell curve thing, idk.
Less women and girls make it into tech for a wade variety of reasons, not the least of which is the conditioning she receives (whether directly or indirectly) that plays a huge part in career choices. Many girls are not given the same opportunities as the boys because “it’s a waste, they’re just going to become mothers anyways”. Many girls are not pushed into STEM courses and programs because of outdated and wrong assumptions like “girls are bad at math” or “girls aren’t interested in science”, and so aren’t given the same attention as their male peers in these classes that they’re required to take. As a result, teachers with these inherent beliefs won’t present the same options to the girls as they do the boys.
Did you know that the term “scientist” was originally coined to describe a woman interested in science?
Oh. I thought I talked exclusively about math, but I wasn't. I guess cultural norms are still heavily influencing everything.
By the way, is it possible that the connotation of "nerds" is driving girls away?
It's not biological, it's social and cultural. Women are low-key conditioned to think and/or state that they are more dependent and not as smart. It's shitty.
