A Movement to Close the Gender Gap in Mathematics
- benj111 8y agoWhat is the ultimate aim of movements like this? To pick on parenthood. Is the ideal that men and women look after children equally? That parents get preferential treatment coming back into work, or what? I ask because we seem to be getting to a point where there is equality of some kind. This isn't an article about sexism per se, but under representation. Is that a problem? Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and all that. Does it do either gender any favours to start implementing 'positive' discrimination, if that is indeed what is being asked for. Is there anything wrong with women just not being that interested in maths?
