Just got email saying child selected for extra-curricular STEM programme coz of her grades. No mention of how her genitals might impact this

Are we talking about school, or society in general? Seems there is societal evidence. Can't comment on a particular school.
-
Society in general. I have seen no evidence of boys being encouraged more than girls. In fact, lots of pressure to get more girls interested
-
More recently, maybe, but in general society assumes much about the sexes and makes choices accordingly (sexism).
-
That's claimed but never substantiated. Since having access to everything women have dominated healthcare, teaching, publishing psychology
-
I simply don't believe that if they were as interested in the STEM subjects they're underrepresented in, they wouldn't have just done that.
-
The difference in interests really isn't a cultural construct. Its pan-cultural & even exists in the other apes in simpler form.
