Or, maybe, they just know better that enduring acute stress is a bad career choice.
- jleyank 4y agoPeople who are female, smart, unhindered by their society and sufficiency wealthy to have agency can choose what they want to do. Why choose software development when medicine, finance and science are open? Yeah, some are introverted and are into programming but even for those, there’s way easier money owning the developers than being one. Far too many “fail” the last two criteria.

- jleyank 4y agoPedantic much?
- lm28469 4y agoI don't think so, it's used a lot in the incel, and other, community in a degrading way. You don't say "I'll go to the swimming pool with my progeny" either Words have meaning, if you use "men" in a sentence why use "female" in the next ?
- jleyank 4y agoThere’s a mix of jargon and a mix of biology vs psychology (for lack of a better term to describe how the wetware works vs is constructed). Hence, standing on strict definitions without a full explanation of the jargon you use is problematical. Women vs female might be clear in your mind, but does it agree with my approach? Or our reader’s? The meaning was clear otherwise you would not have tried to change the terminology.
- fxtentacle 4y agoI believe some groups are offended and will call you a TERF if you use "women" because that refers more to the biology and less to the self-identified gender.
- terf_ally 4y agoTrue, but there's nothing wrong with being a TERF (more accurately, MERF). Feminism is for women and girls only, i.e. female humans. Not men who claim to 'identify' as such.
