forloveofreason: so-eine-schlampe: xkayla-mariex: blackknightsoftheinternet:whyare-you-so-stupid: annxke: because even if she had done a course in STEM, she wouldn’t have had a chance against all those straight white males? Allow me to inform my industrial engineer sister.Or my electrical engineer mother.Or perhaps my female cousin with her matters in microbiology.That if they had taken stem courses, or chosen a stem field, they wouldn’t stand a chance against those straight shot males…Wait a minute. #rekt Maybe that’s why girls are supposedly so intimidated by going into STEM. Because feminists like to act like they have very little chance of getting into those fields and if they do they’re entering a misogynistic cesspool where they’re not wanted and will be bullied and intimidated. Maybe feminists are part of, if not the whole problem. Speaking as a girl studying a STEM field, whose mother, aunt and grandmother also work in STEM fields, if you’re genuinely saying girls can’t do STEM because they “don’t stand a chance against the straight white males” (and actually the field is overall more Middle Eastern and Asian than white, at least in my experience, and I have no idea whatsoever what sexuality might have to do with your math ability) then you may be the one being sexist.I have literally never experienced “misogyny” in any of my classes or from any of my professors, nor has anyone I know. The only time you ever hear that kind of accusation is from girls who’ve decided in their women’s studies classes that this is what it would be like in their view of the world, and who’d know better if they ever set foot in a math classroom. In fact, my university goes out of its way to promote programs and scholarships for girls in STEM, without any equivalent for the guys, so if there is any sexism it’s there.If you’re intimidated by STEM subjects, or you can’t do it, just own up to it. I honestly don’t know what you mean by “wouldn’t have had a chance against those straight white males” - it sounds like you’re saying no girl could ever compare to a straight white male in ability to learn a STEM subject, which I’m sure wasn’t the intention but I can’t figure out what else you might be trying to say. Regardless, in my experience it’s the guys who are at a disadvantage there, . If the girls can’t keep up, if anyone can’t keep up, then that’s their own problem and certainly not the “patriarchy’s” fault.Don’t make baseless accusations coming from a position of ignorance (and I guarantee it’s coming from a position of ignorance because if you had any actual experience with this kind of thing, you’d know better). Guys enter STEM fields at slightly higher rates because that’s what they want to study. Girls become teachers significantly more often than males, and no one’s calling sexism on that, no one’s saying “Yeah, I would have been an education major, but thanks to misandry I wouldn’t stand a chance against all those girls.” No one grinds women under their boot heel like a feminist. -- source link
