Why should it be 50%?
Comment on Women in STEM
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoOkay, how was the truth stretched here?
EDIT: Fun fact for you, in the USA in 1970 8% of stem workers were female. Today, its 27%.
It should be 50%.

For the same reason 50% of mechanics should be women.
Equality.

That’s not equality. Equality is that you have the same rights, possibilities, opportunities etc. Not that the outcome is the same.

Equality of outcome is bullshit. Everyone should be free to choose what they want to do in life.

Payne was credited by Russel, who is not the one who told her not to publish, and she became a Department Chair.
Josselyn Bell actually argued against the point of this meme in her own words decades ago.
Lisa Meitner said Otto deserved that Nobel Prize.
Franklin might have recieved the prize in person if she were alive at the time (dead people do not qualify to recieve it).
Then ask women to enter stem, you and I do not have the authority to force them to do anything they don’t want to do.

bullshit will fly around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots
