I wouldn't call it well researched. Even the wiki link mentions various, half-contradictory theories, none of which is substantiated. Some of those aren't even theories, just a minor generalization of an observation, without any deeper explanation. The page is limited in its discussion, omitting phenomena such as gender variability, BTW.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoWhat evidence would you require to believe it, besides the presented? Or is your objection from ideology, and untouchable?
- tgv 3y agoI don't think it's realistic to expect evidence. Psychology, sociology, etc. don't have the methods to provide them. There are way too many confounds. Even if e.g. the idea "that women in less developed nations are more likely to choose STEM fields" were absolutely true, what could you do about it? Make life more miserable to force women to take up STEM?
