  “Firstly, there is a large economic factor, and that is, on average and compared to women, men can earn more in other industries,” Dr McGrath said.

  “Second, there are social expectations around who belongs in the teaching profession — teaching is often associated with stereotypical traits of being caring and nurturing.”

  Pretty sure neither of these are the actual reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s because it causes all of Lemmy to have a collective ragegasm. It’s kind of funny in a trollish way. I support OP in this endeavour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a lazy response. OP is talking about actions individuals can take and you provided a single word response with a link to overall climate change sources, most of which individuals have no control over (beyond voting).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google faces EU antitrust complaint over AI Overviews⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It’s especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.

  Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Trump Administration is Building a National Citizenship Data System; State and county election officials can now check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The posts on this thread are evidence that people don’t actually care about the policies; if there is an oompa loompa behind it, it must be bad.

  Almost every move the current US administration has done to cut red tape has been utterly stupid. This one actually makes sense. Having a separate citizenship database for every state is just silly.
