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.

Also, must be remembered, women are not underrepresented in all STEM areas. Majority now in fields like medicine where communication key.

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
