...and having you as a Mom.
My daughters did fine too in math, and liked it. I can’t speak for your family, but in my case, I made damn sure they stayed ahead of their grade level, and with that, they never had a problem and went into STEM fields.
Real women are still in for the STEM program. They probably got wanna be women and non binary unaware of what they are mixed up in the polling data.
That may have meant something in the past. Now, I think it says more about high school than it does about boys and girls.
The key to math is being taught well. Math follows rules very consistently. Learn the rules and you can get the basics down very easily.
Granted, advanced algebra and calc are a different thing to a degree, but still they follow the same basic rules and doing calc equations is not hard if you know your math facts.
I’ve worked in the STEM field all of my adult life. Females are very much the minority to this day. And lookers? fuggedaboutit. The hotties are always over in marketing or communications.
Seems to be just as many female nurses as ever in stem jobs
“The key to math is being taught well. Math follows rules very consistently. Learn the rules and you can get the basics down very easily.”
Absolutely! It was developed over THOUSANDS of years, by trial and error, and there is NO WAY that the clowns running ‘education’ will come up with better ways of teaching it. It’s simply not possible.
Although an engineering degree would probably be easy for anybody who can figure out how to get 3 extra winter coats and 15 different outfits into one carry-on suitcase. Including shoes.
Bingo!
So stupid the way they refuse to accept that men and women are different.
Desert Rhino - "They like easy high laying jobs jobs like medicine and Law etc."
LuckyStarMom - "I switched my major, and hot a job in Silicon Valley."
Not implying that women always have the tactic of sex to advance their endeavors...
Fist bump to Metmom for her and her girls. All of society needs everyone doing the best they can with their talents without preconceptions, predjudice or suppression.
Just because a movie like "Hidden Numbers" hyper-inflated the contributions of a few black ladies to NASA does not mean women or minorities are 'held down'. The vast majority of women have the biological directive to reproduce that surpasses career goals. Their DNA programming for finding a protector Alpha male overwhelms rational sense, hence "bad boys" stay in their options - birthing new wastes of oxygen that continue to plague us in a world where we can't just exterminate them without law crashing down on us.
Women's overwhelming proclivity for safety over freedom have shifted politics to Leftism ever since they got the vote...and most of the women getting to the Supreme Court back that up. Biological Imperative rules over all but the strongest. While I SO love women I believe their inclusion in political leadership has been an overall disaster.
Who's proposed for President now? Kamala, Nikki, Hillary and Big Mike? We can't cast our votes on politically correct BS and trends - we have to have the best and most qualified who actually love our country over seeking power and fame for themselves.
In general, STEM is hard.
Totally agree about the gender stereotypes being pushed. I am not a stereotypical woman; I am glad I am not a girl now.
Not Freudian slips. Try voice to text autocorrect and old eyes.
Like Chemistry ?Hmmmm , ever consider breaking bad?
LOL! Please keep up the good work. Last time my Freudian slipped she got pregnant.
AMEN!
I think that there are a lot more of us non-stereotypical women out there than most people realize.
I just never see them(us) wearing it on our sleeve.
