  What is better than 50 % ?

    The original comment was: > and some STEM fields, like molecular biology, have better than 50% representation of women. not ">50%" not "more than 50%" not "higher than 50%" but "better than 50%" Of all the variations, only the last one has a moral value attached to it.

      It's like the beginning of the Malcolm X movie here with you. I like it.

  It's either greater or lesser than 50%. If so if not greater, then you are saying lesser than can be "better"?

    It's a distance from optimal, making it worse no matter which direction it is.

      But then "so would you say those fields that have >50%.." is a valid question by that measure.
