Why are women in academia so rare? Are women just less intelligent

>>8869364
Intelligence is a spectrum and women are on the lower end. After they complete their transition to men, they can become more intelligent.

The fact is that most of the successful women in STEM are men.

>>8869371
That would explain why women want to become men, but why do some men want to become women?

>>8869375
Spectrum of fetishes.

>>8869384
Is there a spectrum of spectrums, or are they at least absolute?

>>8869364
Not much logical thinking, technical creativity (like engy shit), discipline, true love for science and not for the money AND they're social cute creatures that are most fit for social sciences.
Hence why shit like psychology, gender studies, social work, etc. are mostly made up of females desu, they can understand these things well and could potentially make great research but y'know how gender studies is getting meme'd harder than women on STEM senpai.

>you will NEVER be an ugly woman who put in a little effort into STEM but still failed, and then reasoned that it's because of patriarchy and then become a feminist warrior who marches for science
why live?

>>8869364
Formatted from their childhood to aldulthood to think that an intelligent woman is less worthy than an obedient wife. Also society pictured stem as a male thing since ancient greece.

>>8869448
But that would mean that there is an abundance of obedient wives. Instead, we have turbo-sluts.

Welcome to the XXIe century :(

And it's true.

Just because it's a behavior doesn't mean it's "programmable" by outside influences. Some are just really basic to the biology of humans.

>>8869364
I think it's because the IQ distribution of the sexes, most women are in the average range while there are more smart and retarded men.

>>8869364
Because they choose or are convinced to have children.

Males of all carnivore species except for the felines are hunters of the group. To be a hunter you need to be intelligent to create a plan to take down a prey animal. This transfers to the Sciences and Engineering. There is no surprise the best people even in supposed feminine careers are men (best fashion designers or hairstylists are gay men not women). Also STEM careers can be very anti-social and women more than men can go insane without interaction.

>>8869549

Most carnivores are solitary.

>>8869554
I meant pack animals (wolves, chimps,)

>>8869387
Of course there is.

>>8869387
the spectrum of female intelligence is on a spectrum within the human spectrum of intelligence, though the bell curve was the former model, the newly theorized spectrum model more accurately describes the female intelligence spectrum.

>Borat level science.

>Are women just less intelligent than men?

Yes. Women tend to be closer to the mean but in academia you need to be 1.5 to 2 standard deviations above the mean. That doesn't mean that there cannot be female geniuses. They are just rarer.

Women make up 58% of US high school teaching staff. (Source: AOAE)

That took me 15 seconds in Google. It was literally the first link.

Why are women so rare in collegiate academia? For the same reason men aren't going into academia. Pay. Half of all new positions are filled by adjuncts who are paid minimum wage (if that).

It's a bad time to go into academia. The idiot Drumpf doesn't give a shit about education, much less funding it.

Get a copy or better yet pirate "The Essential Difference :The Truth about the male and female brain and the extreme male brain".
TLDR
It basically details that the reason why males are generally motivated to pursue science is so they have the opportunity to be dominant.
Woman tend to not care about their place in the social hierachy as much.

>>8869364
little to no interest in sciences

>The idiot Drumpf
Christ, could you at least be original in insulting him? I hope to God you're being ironic; 'le idiot DRUMPF xDD' is leddit/tumblr bullshit at best.

>>8869448
>getting formatted at all
just inferior creature things I guess

>>8869364
On the spectrum of genders, they are the dumbest. That's actually why the spectrum ends there.

women have a narrower bellcurve and have few gifted and ungifted individuals, they earn the plurality of degrees, but the minoirity of intensive (STEM) disciplines.

does nursing count as STEM?

women dont have to, so they dont

the path to social prestige for women is different than for men. doing well in academia for women is not part of social advancement (ie maths and sciences).

literally look at any media platform and the women who are the most popular are popular for being sexual objects. biology isnt men's fault. Women tend to embrace this role

>>8869364
Womaness is a spectrum anon. Your question is simply incorrect due to spectral diversity.

It's bait.

They are not rare in Europe or Asia or Commonwealth

I'm betting they aren't rare in the US either just you don't hear about them because you aren't in academia yourself
