Have you wondered why it might be that fewer women apply? That a societal structure has been built that causes them to question their intelligence in ways men don't? They might "choose" but society whispers in their ear.

Or maybe women just have better things to do? Or maybe they aren’t so insecure that they need to show off their intellect on a telly quiz show? Or maybe, they just don’t like the show?
-
Or maybe the fact that this does appear to be a gendered issues suggests that there are deeper societal factors at play?
-
Because we both seem to be aware that fewer women go on quiz shows and do you not want to know why?
-
I just gave you plenty of perfectly good reasons.
-
But those very reasons also apply to men, so no, you haven't
-
More men than women like watching football on the telly. Shall we have an inquiry into that too?
-
Excellent comeback, as irrelevant as your first point. You are on fire today!

TV producers are practically dragging women off the streets begging them to appear on quiz shows.

As someone who has been involved with UC Team selection progress before, this isn't the case. Applications seem to be about 65% male, 35% female from my experience. But even that ratio isn't reflected on the show itself.

Appreciate you sharing this.

It's rare I see someone talking about someone on Twitter when I know something about it, so I relished the opportunity :P

When "societal structures" & " gendered issues" crop up in sentences, I switch off. Want to live in real, not theoretical twaddle.

Why the hell does it matter- with all the brainwashing genderbending going on in our schools you wont know male from female soon.All must be neutral.
