      As verbal reasoning is my particular talent I'm inclined to agree. 😁

      Women do have greater advantages here on average. Did you see this?http://www.futurity.org/verbally-acute-women-avoid-stem-careers/ …

      The nature versus nurture argument is pretty pronounced in the general debate. Is it genetic predisposition or conditioning?

      Language differences? They're pretty clearly innate. Much neuroscience on this & also observable in related dyslexia & autism differences.

      As well as pancultural differences in the age when children start speaking & how they develop & communication priorities in other apes.

      And also measuring the differences experienced by trans men & trans women as they take hormones to change their oestrogen levels.

      I really think we need to include this stuff in our conversations abt why women dominate education, healthcare, psychology, publishing.

      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
