And more women than men have been graduating from medical school in the US every year since 2017. Similarly, more women than men have been graduating with PhDs across the board every year since 2020

you’re right, they’re very different fields. stem fields have recently shown more female representation than men. i concede that point. i was wrong about women in stem
trades and military however are consistently proven to heavily underrepresent women, despite feminist efforts to change that
why is that? i think it’s because less women are inclined to pursue these fields, in part because of their obvious disadvantage in strength, and their reluctance to engage in competition, and receptivity to physical danger

Ok, but what’s your point?
BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 5 days ago
my points is that women don’t want to work jobs that include high mortality rate
therefore feminists don’t advocate for equity, they advocate for equality, which doesn’t account for gender biases

You think men like dying more than women? What’s that based on?

Oh man, send this statement to a logician for analysis and their brain would melt. I’m taking away overall that you dislike feminism and also misunderstand what feminism is
