I've downvoted this comment because I believe it's very misguided. The reason that there is so much focus on getting women into STEM subjects is in an attempt to counter the huge biases against them, in education, the workplace, the economy, and life in general. It has been shown time and time again that women tend to need to be far more capable to achieve the same as men, whether that's in job applications, hiring, STEM subjects, or running for political office.
I respectfully suggest that you look into this more, and do so from sources that are experts in this, rather than from people in privileged positions who have self-interest in retaining that privilege.
- black-tea 8y agoWhat biases against them? Women do better in education. Women spend more money. Women are less likely to get sick at all stages of life and live longer. I respectfully suggest that you look into this more. If what you're saying is true that means that, on average, women you work with are always more capable than all of the men. Do you really believe that? Think.
