It's weird that the Internet is the first place to say things like: "Maybe women don't WANT to be in tech", "there are biological differences", etc. but also turn around and complain that it's sexist to imply men (on average) have difficulties with emotional communication.
- dleslie 9y agoIt's almost like the internet is a platform where many different voices are heard.
- sblom 9y agoOr at least where many different voices are published. :)
- turc1656 9y agoThe word "want" describes desire, willingness, and a level of interest. Saying someone or a group of people are not interested in doing something is entirely different than saying they are less capable. The proper equivalent to "men (on average) have difficulties with emotional communication" for the example you gave would be "women are not as naturally capable as men when it comes to tech jobs."
- toasterlovin 9y agoPerhaps you're undervaluing the degree to which desire promotes skill. Maybe it's that men have difficulties with emotional communication because they don't have a desire to communicate emotionally and, thus, have not built up the skill set.
