Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

But us chicks have not dominated physics. And I can tell you why, they treat women like trash. I have had a couple extremely bizarre interactions in physically isolated applied physics labs, and I'm like “Oh, if this is what the campus tour meet and greet feels like, I'd run, screaming.”

But UNDER REPRESENTATION in math, physics, and engineering.

So we have significant OVER REPRESENTATION of women in biomedical undergrad, professional programs, and PhD (just a squidge in the PhD numbers, but still >50%). Even medical professional, MD, doctor programs are female majority.

So this is an example of a straw man argument.

Physics, for example, is pretty straightforward. It's abstract, but I've never seen an undergraduate be told to model a boundary problem inside a Dirac Sea.

So, it's not about the STEM areas that are highly represented by women being easier. My God, I love statistics. I could live a peaceful life running omnibus tests, monte Carlo simulations, and explaining the limitations of presence-only MaxEnt models and writing papers advocating data positive and negative informed approaches, locked in an office, getting lunch delivered. But women in math is super low, still. Which is weird, because, again, it's just following axioms, with some flavor of Applied mathematics.

How many of you have had your parental rights taken away because of lies and no truth whatsoever, and did you prove the lies that were told about you to be false either through drug testing or another way, but still had your rights taken?

Why is this a straw man argument? Because women are highly participatory in STEM. What has happened is that women are extremely overrepresented in certain fields and almost non-existent in others. Some of this is economic and some of this is because some fields are safer landing places for women than others.

E.g. it's much easier to take out a scarecrow full of straw than fight a man, but you still get seen punching someone out for a good video.

However, we see 70% female presence in some veterinary schools. A big part of this is the job is not as lucrative as it was so we're seeing fewer men being pushed to compete for it, or choosing to compete for it. Certain areas of the life Sciences is waaaay female over-represented.

Why is rap* a crime?

In order to make women look bad, a distorted non-reality is presented, that is easy to take down, thus the argument maker and their followers can bond and gain strength through taking down easy, fake points, seemingly denigrating their opponent.

I have taken a few cross listed undergraduate courses as an established professional adult with a graduate degree and background in industry. Watching these young people, majority women, in pre-med get abused by an arbitrary and subjective system, it's more like a gulag than college.

Getting a good grade in group theory means memorizing a bunch of rules about groups, remembering shit about sets from the last class, then applying it problems of a type you can predict you'll be asked about. Like, the bonus question will be about clopen (closed and open featured) topologies. Its well-trodden ground, structured, ordered, and agreed upon at the undergraduate and most of the graduate level.

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

Axiom-based sciences like math and physics are wonderful. You don't have to fight for a point on an exam because a recent paper strongly suggests a given virus ISN'T endogenous and the professor hasn't kept up with their literature, so to get the point back you have to spend and hour finding and collating literature …for one point. And there are 10 points on the exam that you can argue are wrong. Do you have time for this part time job?

So it's going to take effort and a certain quotient of underlying characteristics, but the work will have a prove-able, right answer, and everything presented is solvable, with limited, specific material to draw from for advanced topics.

However, pre medical programs for veterinary school, dentistry, medicine, and biomedical are the same, and they are very difficult and very competitive, because the material typically comes down too someone giving PowerPoints from a class pack and then giving a pre-made test, and having no idea whether or not what's being presented is correct because it's become far too complicated for any one specialist to understand all the undergraduate courses they're supposed to teach. So, it's about self-teaching and beating a test bank of high-level material that was poorly developed at a third rate school by someone hired by Pearson for pocket money.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Why is it male dominated? As my partner summarizes the situation, in a falsetto high school girl voice, “math makes my boobs hurt.” There are socially held narratives about math, and other abstract axiom based sciences, that exclude women, and women are punished for participating by those in power, and prevented from gaining entry in the first place by gatekeeping asshats.
