I remember my ROTC class was ranked by GPA, the #1 was a female PhysED major with a 4.0, I was #2 with a 3.8 in Math, and the next was a male Chemistry Major. Seems unfair to us guys that we STEM majors were losing out to a jock, did not matter it was a she.

This study also gets into female race. What about male race? IMHO black males were also missing from STEM.

“Are Young Women Losing Interest In STEM Fields?”

Perhaps young women NEVER had an interest in STEM, but instead were pushed into it?

Forget STEM fields, there’s Taylor Swift and the movie Barbie.

Dude! Women as a rule never had interest Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics. Gimme a break. Women...the vast majority go for accounting, biz, med, psyche, or how to land a rich guy 101. Mechanically inclined babes are few and far between in any shop. They're all in the offices and the guys on the floor consider it a treat when they get to see "one" walk thru the shop just to get to the other side.

Smart move on the ladies part. Why bust your tail in these degrees when your government will allow an army of Indians into this country to drive down wages & drive you out of your field?

I spent 20 years in STEM jobs. I might have met 10 female engineers as opposed to probably a thousand men. And they were competent. Just very few and far between.

Same in college. In general, men and women have different interests and skills. I know it’s heretical to say it nowadays but it’s true.

Women are not competitive. Maybe it’s due to the testosterone?

I bet girls who do show an interest in STEM classes are told they are really boys. The gender stuff being pushed could effect girls who do not fit a 1950’s stereotype.

The cultural nepotism means STEM is being increasingly populated by males from seriously misogynistic places who can get away with it because of DEI intersectional bingo and know it.

The wokoids have killed meritocracy and what’s left in the workplace is factionalism/tribalism. Something is good not objectively through data or because it’s a right thing, but because it benefits a favored subgroup.

Lefties wanted the victim pyramid and are now sad because they’re not actually on top.

If current party thought was strictly enforced I might think men and women are different.

Back in the day I don’t remember many women in chem or engineering. They were in nursing. Lots there. Higher math was mostly men. Other classes, electives I took predominantly male were astronomy, meteorology, geology, archeology, biology except marine bio.

They don’t have the aptitude for STEM subjects because it’s not in their DNA. Nothing can change that.

Who gives a rats ass? Why this sicko insane push that women should be stem? The dirty secret is that across the board they don’t like it and aren’t as good. They like easy high laying jobs jobs like medicine and Law etc.

That men and women’s brains are wired differently is completely unacceptable to the modern liberal.

If they are on average less interested in STEM fields, that is not a problem. To each her own.

They’ve never had an more than a very small interest in STEM fields. In my engineering studies the vast majority of them dropped out by the end of first year.
