With the evidence that we are overlapping populations. It's not at all difficult to understand and it refutes both blank slatism and the claim that men and women have different natural roles in life. https://twitter.com/Trunkulent/status/1000981224519815169 …

If you find it difficult to grasp the concept of overlapping populations, think of height. (British) men are on average 5 ft 9 and women are 5 ft 5. That is only a 7% difference. Many women exist who are taller than the average man & many men who are shorter than average woman.

No-one says to me 'You can't be 5 ft 9. That's a man's height' because that is clearly ludicrous. I am 5 ft 9 regardless of statistical averages. The same is true of interests & abilities. Many women exist who are 5 ft 9 & many exist who want to work in tech.

Nevertheless, we shouldn't be surprised if 80% of the people who are 5 ft 9 and 80% of people who are tech engineers are men. (I don't know the percentages). This is all that overlapping populations means. It is a fact that men & women differ on average but vary as individuals.pic.twitter.com/fY6wZNh4nZ

Replying to @HPluckrose
How do you explain that STEM numbers are different from country to country then?

We are not yet at a stage where every country has freedom of choice. Even then, there will probably still be differences based on culture.
