Here's a question: Which sex of all the sexually dimorphic animals on the Earth can give birth?
Answer: Females.
The simple answer to all these bait questions is that women can and do have children, which is time consuming and whether people deny it or not, mothers are far more integral in raising a child than fathers.
Naturally, spending less time in the workplace leads to them falling behind even though they might have started on equal or greater footing as their male counterparts.
- neivin 10y agoIIRC, there's a study that women 20-30 make far more money than their male counterparts. This difference reverses later in life

- mhluongo 10y agoThen why is this trend so different between disciplines? And why does it impact STEM and higher-salary jobs more? What about in other countries, like Malaysia, where IIRC there are more women in engineering (or at least computer science)? You might want to revisit your thinking.

- sporkenfang 10y agoMost women I know with professional jobs hire nannies as soon as their leave from work is up regardless of field. This isn't about kids.
- badsock 10y agoDid you read the article? It's about a study that found persistent issues that started happening while the subjects were still in college. Yes, career trajectories can be impacted by childcare. But that doesn't explain everything. Other cultures where sexism isn't as prevalent (e.g. Soviet Russia, which despite all of its failings did impressive engineering), we don't see these kinds of statistics. Why is it so hard to accept that sexism exists, and that it has a negative impact?
- js8 10y agoI am from Czech Republic and I assure you, the feminist ideas here are much less prevalent than in the West (i.e. sexism is more prevalent). I think it's also true for Russia, India, etc. It's probably because women have less good options in those countries why they put up with being in IT. I think it should be considered that all the talk about sexism in IT causes confirmation bias in people and they are more likely to falsely attribute their decisions to it.
