I think this would be a wonderful point in time-to see how many high school girls, on average would choose tech on their own- then show them
Do you have some evidence of this? That girls drawn primarily to maths suddenly lose interest?
-
-
M not suggesting as the article does, that we should tell women to code bcos boys do. I think something else more subtle takes place
-
Are you completely committed to cultural constructivism as a sole explanation or can biology have any part in the conversation?
-
M nt opposed to biology being a part.I think women are more drawn to ppl oriented stuff and men less, bt I find this math ability an anomaly
-
Then what do we disagree about? The conversation is about girls being more interested in working with people & boys with things on average.
-
M saying some of that interest is biological.Bt I think socialisation is also playing a big role,or the math numbers shld hold steady
-
I don't know how maths numbers come into this because no-one is arguing that girls don't do as well as boys at maths due to biology.
-
Lol. M saying between math interest in kids and drop in tech numbers-there may be socialisation that is driving ppl intellectually inclined-
-
What maths interest tho? Interest and ability are different. Tech and maths are different. I really need to go to bed. Sorry. Goodnight. :)

Dis piece says girls outperform boys in math in elementary(where i assume least pressure) but den it starts to slope https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/differences-between-men-women-vastly-exaggerated-adam-grant …
-
Absolutely! Girls outperform boys in everything. They don't have as much interest tho when it comes to picking interests.
-
On average. They also have more options because girls high in maths skills are also likely to be high in verbal skills while boys aren't.

M wondering abt d 'nerd' effect in west high schools&sexual attraction.Sum girls deliberately downplay nerdy traits cos its 'unattractive'
