Comment on Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism
IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 1 year agoWell I mean, do you read the links you provide?
While women now account for 57% of bachelor's degrees across fields and 50% of bachelor's degrees in science and engineering broadly (including social and behavioral sciences), they account for only 38% of bachelor's degrees in traditional STEM fields (i.e., engineering, mathematics, computer science, and physical sciences; Table 1).
There's where your 50% comes from. And as you can see, your link also aligns with the 38.6% previously mentioned.
See? Now was that hard? See how once you explained yourself we could clear up the confusion you were having? Nothing wrong with that, easy to be confused by the various terms that are being tossed around.

Nah you’re still being disingenuous. The stats don’t lie - even the stats you provided 😂.
I would have thought you’d be happy to see stem taken over by women. Though if you were actually interested in equality you’d also be worried about why men aren’t applying. That’s a real problem - for women too.
