Women Skip Math/Science Careers To Have Families
hessian notes a Cornell survey, published in the Psychological Bulletin, of 35 years of sociological studies that concludes that women tend to choose non-math-intensive fields for their careers not because they lack mathematical ability, but because they want flexibility to raise children or prefer less math-intensive fields of science. "'A major reason explaining why women are underrepresented not only in math-intensive fields but also in senior leadership positions in most fields is that many women choose to have children, and the timing of child rearing coincides with the most demanding periods of their career, such as trying to get tenure or working exorbitant hours to get promoted,' said lead author Stephen J. Ceci... The authors concluded that hormonal, brain, and other biological sex differences were not primary factors in explaining why women were underrepresented in science careers, and that studies on social and cultural effects were inconsistent and inconclusive. They also reported that although 'institutional barriers and discrimination exist, these influences still cannot explain why women are not entering or staying in STEM careers,' said Ceci."
The real reason women don't go into math and science fields is because they are always horny and all they want are massive orgies 24x7 with guys who are uglier than you and want it in all three holes at the same time.
Look this up on the Internet there is evidence all over the place..
My understanding is that outsourcing is not working well. If the less successful, and therefore cheaper, societies were able to do science work well, they wouldn't be less successful, would they?
Maybe getting ripped off politically and economically by Western countries for the last 300 years âthe same western countries that still favor and put their lackeys in charge thereâ also has something to do with them not being successful.
