It could be mysogynistic, but my mother explains this as that most girls are less adept at highly specialized areas, compared to men.

Many girls are not given the same opportunities as the boys because “it’s a waste, they’re just going to become mothers anyways”. Many girls are not pushed into STEM courses and programs because of outdated and wrong assumptions like “girls are bad at math” or “girls aren’t interested in science”, and so aren’t given the same attention as their male peers in these classes that they’re required to take. As a result, teachers with these inherent beliefs won’t present the same options to the girls as they do the boys.

I thought I talked exclusively about math, but I wasn't. I guess cultural norms are still heavily influencing everything. By the way, is it possible that the connotation of "nerds" is driving girls away? permalink fedilink source parent [–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago It's not biological, it's social and cultural.
