    Sorry to say, but I haven’t met a single female who wouldn’t vacate the area if discussion turned to resent science headlines.

    Reveals their sexism, misogny, ignorance, and believes women can’t be intelligent like men based on no evidence except what they believe.

    Can’t even spell “recent” correctly.

        This list is far from complete. Emmy Noether, Babara McClintock, Ada Lovelace, Valentina Tereshkova…

        I do think less girls are in the tech, especially mathematics. It could be mysogynistic, but my mother explains this as that most girls are less adept at highly specialized areas, compared to men.

        Could be a bell curve thing, idk.

          It’s not biological, it’s social and cultural. Women are low-key conditioned to think and/or state that they are more dependent and not as smart. It’s shitty.

      Oh, I thought he usually engages in discussions about resenting science for some reason!

      Just out of interest. How did you interpret my post that women can’t do science?

      Women generally don’t just care. Same with cars and other engineering stuff. Does NOT mean women can’t do technology, nor that there are no female mechanics or engineers.

      Cultural thing?

      If you look a little deeper it appears they may be making a genuine observation. If the spelling is any indication of education it would suggest they may not know any women who care about science. If they really are discussing “resent” science headlines and they’re spelling recent incorrectly they are either teenagers, an adult male from a low socioeconomic area leading to poor education outcomes or a mixture.

        It’s also possible the ‘headlines’ they’re discussing are cryptobro bullshit or that debunked pos that said women panic more about bad news than men. You start citing ‘scientific research’ that sounds like Tate’s wet dream, it’s gonna clear the room faster than cabbage farts
