      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

      movies like hidden figures and other representations which bring out excitement in tech, and see if there is a difference.

      But also look at biology.

      Well, we just discussed what we liked as kids, what we're good at - languages, history etc & how it pulled us into our career streams yes?

      So then, logically, little girls who DO love math when kids-should be going into tech-but something breaks in between.Is that bio or social?

      What breaks in between? I don't know what you mean? Why do you think something breaks?

      Why aren't the numbers of instinctively interested, brilliant little girls in math (high) being reflected in choice to go into tech?

      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. :)

          If its biology, I think it should start showing as kids-d fact that girls seem to be as good when small makes me skeptical.
