And in addition, the sexism that is PARTICULARLY applied in STEM fields against women in regards to hiring
But... is it? I mean, there's going to be some, certainly, (in both directions too, I don't doubt) but is it actually a major thing, statistically speaking? I see no reason to assume sexist hiring is anywhere near as prolific as you assert.
I mean, think about it, if a woman has an interest in engineering, but she knows there's a good chance she will be discriminated against and end up jobless after 4 years of school, that might kinda deter her from pursuing an engineering career, right?
Sure, but that's assuming employers discriminate against women in the first place. Heck, during my time in university, we had it relentlessly drilled into us that the opposite is true.
But those things are entirely cultural.
That's a very difficult statement to prove or disprove. Personally, I think calling it "entirely cultural" is just as stupid as calling it "entirely biological".
What this guy said. What we
do know is that men and women have statistically apparent differences in interests - whether this is mostly cultural or mostly biological is moot. Claiming that it's sexist is kinda excessive.
