It's true that science has been seen as a men's field

Got any evidence to back up what you're saying?

How are questions in science biased by gender?

P = NP says nothing about gender imo

You ain't from 'round these parts? Talkin' 'bout women gets you a shitstorm.

>>8661717
no, literally why?
If there are competent enough women to get into that field, then they'll get there.

>>8661722
Agreed, need sauce.

Beyond that though, I couldn't give less of a shit who my coworkers are so long as they do their damn job.

If you're talking about affirmative action fuck that shit. I lost out on a free ride to college because I didn't have a vagina.

Not OP, but I want to know how anons interpret the graph.

Man and woman both started off as naked tribes of hunter gatherers roaming the Earth

from this equal starting point, Man asserted his superiority in all domains, which we can see from most of observable history

The idea of women as equal in this regard is a fantasy that lacks precedent

They may be essential, but they are not equal, and they never will be

The nature of CS changed

It went from something more along the lines of being a secretary: data entry and routine writing, to something more dynamic and business/research critical

The introduction of the personal computer also created a new culture surrounding the field that women did not find appealing

Get me a god damn sandwich and brewsky women! Don't worry your pretty little head about mathematics. That's a man's field!

Due to the portrayal in media and popular culture that women who enter STEM fields are "nerdy" or "dorks", it discourages them from even trying. When culture places so much emphasis on how women should look or act, it's difficult to enter a field that defies all social norms.

I very much agree with this insightful statement.

Men and women are interested in and good at different things.

Why is it that in eSports (video games played competitively as sports) there are so few top female players? Could it possibly have anything to do with men having (on average) better reaction time, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and perception of 3-D objects? Could it be a result of men possessing testosterone and being more aggressive and competitive?

How about traditional sports, where the level of female competition is nowhere near that of male athletes? Could it have anything to do with men having twice the upper-body strength of women, or the thousands of years of physically-demanding heritage?

Or is it just a patriarchal conspiracy by sexist men to keep women from certain activities?

OP, you know that we are living in the 21th century and women STILL aren't doing big shit like men do, right?

There's a clear reason for this and it's not opression.

I will let you think of this one, if you can think for once.

It's a common argument, but if you aren't competitive/driven enough to withstand the most mild discouragement, you are not cut out for STEM work. Women are not weak, fragile little creatures who can't possibly deal with slight negativity towards them. Not only is your statement about women being represented poorly in the media blatantly false, but it begs the question, "Why does this not apply to men as well?" Stereotyping CS workers (or even just computer enthusiasts) has existed for so long, yet men have continued to enter the field.

Thus, it's either that women are emotionally and intellectually weak (what your argument suggests) or that women just aren't as interested in STEM work (what reality indicates).

Don't get made at me. Get mad at the 1920s. 2-3 generations isn't that much time compared to the history of mankind.

For most of mankind's history, "man asserted his superiority" meant physical assertion, not mental assertion.

Just look all memes about STEMlord, almost say any smart people will goes to Law,medicine o Business.

I'd say a really important part of people who get into computer sciences are those who've had a lot of exposure to technology when they were growing up (video games, internet etc)
Since video games and the like are mostly male activities it makes sense that most CS majors are men, and women go towards other fields
