The only conditioning I've ever seen any real evidence of is _against_ what would be called "social norms": teachers, parents and media work overtime to try to get girls interested in math, science, and programming and if anything actively _discourage_ boys from it.
- delecti 7y agoIf the "quiet part" beneath that "loud part" is that girls are being encouraged and boys discouraged because STEM is "boy stuff" and girls need to be pushed into it, kids will pick up on that. And it only takes a tiny bit of a "boy's club" atmosphere before things start getting hostile to the women present, and that quickly snowballs.
