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

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:

Nationally, women make up 57.3% of bachelor’s degree recipients but only 38.6% of STEM bachelor’s degree recipients.

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 😂

    What are you even going on about? It literally says:
    
    Women represent 57.3% of undergraduates but only 38.6% of STEM undergraduates
    
    That means women are obtaining most of their degrees via non-STEM studies.
    
    Women represent 52% of the college-educated workforce, but only 29% of the science and engineering workforce.
    
    And that is reflected in the study's figures for employment as well.

    Well let's look over the score here. Someone has provided two different links to back up their argument and you've provided… Oh look, none. You're making claims and pointing out things that clearly do not exist or are anecdotal. Nothing you have done in the last three comments indicates to anyone that any of us should take anything you have to say with any kind of value.
    
    So I guess you are amused to know [sic] end, but a point or logical argument you have not made. But hey if you thinking you took the W here and that keeps you quiet, then good job you totally owned everyone here. Amazing wordsmithing.

    Your Yale link is nonsense as I think you’re aware. Your original link shows a closer stat to reality though it’s based on 2020 data - currently stem is predominantly female.
