If STEM would "naturally" be 60% men, 40% women, and sexism makes it 80% men, 20% women, it's important to fight sexism so that the 20% of women can get their career back.
It's just insane that people make the leap from "STEM might not have equal interest between men and women" to "Diversity-promoting programs are harmful".
- naasking 9y agoExcept you're making the leap that the natural ratio is much higher than the norms that are seen in every progressive nation on Earth, many of which have very different cultures. Don't you see how this shifts the burden to those who claim it's naturally higher to demonstrate this fact? Any other position is literally assuming the existing culture is full of bigots that must be stopped and forced to comply via "diversity promoting programs", all of which may ultimately have zero positive effects. How is that not insane?
