Why Men Dominate STM

Why do men dominate STM fields (i.e., science/technology/math)? If you work for Google, you are required to believe it is due to discrimination by the malicious patriarchy. Otherwise, you will get fired like James Damore. But relentlessly moonbatty Physics World has come up with another politically acceptable explanation. It’s because girls are smarter than boys:

The gender gap in maths-related fields could be determined by girls’ superior reading skills, which leads them to favour humanities-based professions. …

Previous research has shown that while girls and boys have similar abilities in maths at school, a gender gap persists in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in further education. Women are therefore less likely to pursue STEM careers, especially in maths-intensive subjects such as physics.

A study is unlikely to find that women have better reading skills but men have better math skills, because it would be blasphemous to suggest that men are better at anything. You don’t acquire grants by blaspheming against the liberal religion.

As science becomes less about science than about nurturing the self-esteem of politically favored identity groups, maybe more women will find it appealing.

On a tip from Lyle.
