Every hierarchy must be inverted. Every binary must be spectrumized. Every norm must be transgressed.
Not only are the STEM disciplines not immune to this, they are, in my opinion, the primary target, precisely because of their status, effectiveness, and the general competence of their practitioners.https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1363641727479812096 …

attempting to make math education more inclusive will hurt mathematical reasoning, this just in from the promoter of men are order, women are chaos line of "reason."

Perhaps the antidote is not quotas in STEM, but higher social and financial status of the non-STEM disciplines? Like, teachers. The people who literally build the country's future. Should probably be paid many multiples of "a living wage." And 10x the respect. Many others too

I don't live in the US but i study to become a teacher and we've increased the salary for teachers a lot here yet it didn't increase quanity or quality of applicants. Seems to be unattractive for many reasons sadly =/

Then people must be highly disappointed in me because all I teach in my math class is, well, math. Pretty much all I plan on doing. My kids seem to be doing just fine, thank you.
