Comment on Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism

I’m curious if they asked the men if they’d experienced sexism too. Most stem subjects are predominantly female so this seems to be a study seeking an answer that suits a narrative.

That seems to say that there is a slight over-representation of women in STEM (degrees earned) overall but only because of a single subject/job-cluster, “health-related”, with a slight to very large under-representation in all others. No “predominant” anywhere.

Yep, pretty much. Slightly more women in stem these days and rising.

What do you think that article says that agrees with you?

When you’re accustomed to being on top, 44% looks like 100% doesn’t it.

STEM is dominated by men. Especially the workforce. https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf23315/. About 50% of women that take STEM majors switch to non-STEM majors, while about 35% of males switch. This is a Yale source, though.

You’re being disingenuous. The study posted relates to sexism at university where stem subjects are predominantly female.

Source? The Yale link above specifically mentions:
Anecdotally, I was in a STEM-focused school and major over 20 years ago, and it was overwhelming male-dominated. One of my colleagues graduated less than 10 years ago, and her experience was not dissimilar. She had to deal with quite a bit of sexism too, unfortunately.

Your own damn link contradicts that bullshit stem bachelor degree stat.
I’d search for another but people shooting themselves in the foot amuses me to know end 😂
