Well, perceptions of them. I'm interested that your first instinct was to see the kind of arguing I do as something society deems womanish.
But people fear it will lead to arguments they should stay there & leave STEM for men. This can be refuted both factually & ethically tho

-
Yeah but if science shows women are simply more advanced in verbal skills but about the same in STEM, then we've been doing this all wrong.
-
I think we have but this does not indicate that we should stop efforts to get girls interested.
-
Also, must be remembered, women are not underrepresented in all STEM areas. Majority now in fields like medicine where communication key.
-
They still struggle and are looked over for leadership roles.
-
Quite possibly but also the case that more female doctors work part-time and fewer hours. Women more likely to seek work/life balance.
-
How much of that is because of expectations that they will be the ones to take care of kids & whether that's a privilege or disadvantage?
-
But also evidence men more likely to tolerate inconvenience, unsociable hours & long hours in every job and prioritise raw pay.
-
Also women more likely to go for social fields like family doctor, paediatrician & men to focus on the *things* of the body - hearts, brains
