COUNTRIES WITH GREATER gender equality see a smaller proportion of women taking degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), a new study has found.
Dubbed the “gender equality paradox”, the research found that countries such as Albania and Algeria have a greater percentage of women amongst their STEM graduates than countries lauded for their high levels of gender equality, such as Finland, Norway and Sweden.
The researchers, from Leeds Beckett University and the University of Missouri, believe this might be because countries with less gender equality often have little welfare support, making the choice of a relatively high-paid STEM career more attractive.
The study, published in Psychological Science, also examined what motivates girls and boys to study STEM subjects, including overall ability, interest or enjoyment in the subject and whether science subjects were a personal academic strength.
>making the choice of a relatively high-paid STEM career
There is your flaw. If you want money, you don't do work, you help rich people defy and control the laws.
Austin Reyes
Well, it doesn't change the fact that STEM pays more than Liberal Arts.
Eli Harris
Girls don't want to be nerds, they wanna be sexy thots. When everyone looks like a fucking jawa, then girls will study what they actually want to study.
disclaimer: I hate jawas.
The needed to really perform research to figure this one out?
Andrew Johnson
Well it isn’t hard to explain. When given a choice, women opt for easier majors. When your conservative catholic, hindu or muslim dad decides then he will be choosing high paid, hard STEM or medical majors. Women rights is a meme. Biologically they were never meant to have total control. Men, be it daddy, brother or hisband were the ones to have the final say in their decisions because women never evolved to make decisions on heavy subjects. I mean you could fool a chick into thinking your 5 inch dick is 8 inches easily and you expect the same person to make a good decision?
Jonathan Morales
The push for STEaM is trying to change it so there is a need for more arts professors so they get paid more.
Austin Bailey
>fool a chick into thinking your 5 inch dick is 8 inches hehe. this man speaks the truth.
Hudson Cook
There is an interesting dynamic with people seeing results of studies, statistical analysis, and other things and then use a completely untested and less probable counter-argument to discredit them.
"The reason this study came up with these statistical outcomes is because of tax strategy."
It doesn't really matter if the "disproval" of said study is extremely weak and much less well-founded than the study. As long as it provides an ideological escape hatch people will latch on to whatever bogus magical explanation they can.
This is found extensively in psychology's low sample size studies. They can discard 90% of them to never be published but rely on statistical likilhoods to eventually get a result they want. Even if it fails to reproduce or be anything other than statistical noise, they can use this magical and untrue result to keep the ideology "pure".
So they can say, "Well those empirical results are easily disproved by stereotype threat, which in 1/100 studies, which is the only one published, which is statistical noise, we found that doing X before a test raised the scores 5%.
Samuel Smith
Basically everyone should be afraid of bias. In modern institutional science this is the eagerness to do large scale searches for a "fixed" result.
So 1000 studies are done on how to improve test scores. Of these 1000 studies, 5 get any impact on test score versus normal. 2 increase it
the two tests get published to show that test scores can be improved by screaming "bazinga" before the test.
This is used to discredit test results.
This study fails to replicate but is used for a decade to show that "science shows test scores are easily changed".
This is a fundamental flaw to science publication and especially social science studies.
>mass scale worldwide search for X result >some statistical noise will get X result out of Y attempts >only publish the statistical noise that goes with ideology Z >now "science" shows Z
Xavier Powell
Did they need to? No. But it's a good thing. We could have had a thread like this a week ago and argued for hours because there was no empirical evidence. Now when someone brings up gender equality in the STEM field you can whip out your giant dick, slam it on the table and yell "LISTEN HERE THOT." then proceed to not say a single word and just throw this study at them. That's why this was important. We don't even have to argue about this anymore.
This isn't so much a crisis as a lack of reproduction of experiment by independent researchers.
Elijah Barnes
This was a cool video. Thanks. Yeah, it covers that.
Leo Watson
It became a crisis because the results had been in use by real world institutions for a very long time. People changed their entire behavior on the idea of ego depletion and other beliefs. These false studies still have huge effects and are believed as science by many influential people. It's a huge fuck up that does immense harm.
Eli Campbell

Mason Flores
So it's just girls' fault? Does it really matter? Is it really gonna make a difference if STEM was 50/50 perfectly equal?
Brody Gomez
Okay sweetie check your facts.
1. Men and women are the same at STEM. 2. Women need to be represented because of their different perspective and skillset due to being women.
Adrian Russell
Yeah sure but if they don't wanna study STEM then whatever.
Carter Reyes
That's sexist. You just gave up on a little girl who wanted to be an engineer with a wave of your hand and a "whatever". This is why women avoid the field.
Oliver Green

Cooper Morgan
women are horrible at estimating distance and space.
A very interesting statistic. Over the past 10 years Female Teen Suicide rate has doubled in America (2005-2015). Seems interesting that the more equal the genders are the more unhappy women become on subjective polling.
Colton Cook
No genders are exactly the same, with the exact same needs and interests. This goes for races as well. >Thinking a penis changes your mind I have got news for you sweetie it doesn't. A penis is only a sex organ, it changes nothing about the way you perceive and dissect the world. Goes for skin color too, evolution stops at the neck you poltard.
I knew people said Veeky Forums was bad but Jesus Christ this place is toxic.

have fewer female STEM grads but ...
have more female STE((([math]\mathcal{A}[/math])))M grads
Oliver Ross
The main purpose of STEaM (I put a lowercase because I have zero respect for it) is so the professors in the "a" have jobs. There are 2 opposing viewpoints in academia now, the push for STEaM and the European/Global one where gen ed requirements are dropped and we focus only on classes pertaining to your major. Since college is mostly a scam for all majors not in STEM, medical, or some business/law majors, I doubt the push to make your bill lower has any support from schools and student loan companies. I once told my history professor who bitched to us why we weren't up to pace on reading assignments. Flat out told him I don't need this class outside of it being a gen ed requirement and it is at the bottom of my totem pole of concerns ( I place my STEM classes above all obviously).

Why is my latex borked on Veeky Forums ? I don't see the equations no more, just the plain code. Is it due to the Block Fix ?

If "Arts & Math" in STEaM is replaced by "Applied Math", then it's ok
Christian Collins
Let's put it this way....
They wanted to call it SMET before it was changed to STEM.
Jeremiah Howard
It should be SEM to quite honest since engineering incorporates alot of tech in it's own right. Hell, just call it SE since Math is science.
Ethan King
Math isn't science, it is the language of science, but it doesn't use the scientific method, so it would be unfair to call it science.
Eli Williams
Math is not science. Science is a process of making predictions about reality. It's all inductive. Almost all math is deductive and it based entirely on abstraction.
William Baker
Four objects have six unique pairs.
Christopher Thompson
How doesn't math use the scientific method? They have to prove their hypothesis. It's not like social "sciences" where they can't reproduce the same results in a new experiment.
Jayden Wood
The emphasis on the "a" is literally what they want in STEaM. It's exactly the mirror image of modern women and niggerish blacks who must have EVERYTHING centered around them.
