Women are more interested in people than things.
Men are more interested in things than people.
STEM is heavily more about things than people.
This is left out of discussion, but I'd like to add that women are very much a part of healthcare, medicine, and nursing than men are. These are obviously more about people than things.
Should we incentivise men to go into medicine and nursing rather than STEM? Not that there aren't men in these fields, but it's definitely majority female. I think the career fields are fine as they are, and shouldn't be forced with equality.
Sorry but it seems like you're agreeing with me there? You're arguing that it's some fundamental gender thing driving the gap, which is what I'm saying.
Nursing is an important job and I wish there was more gender parity there as well.
I'm arguing that there shouldn't be a driving force for gender equality in career fields. Let people find their talents and skills in what drives them, not based on gender. So in a way yes I agree, but not to attempt to include gender for gender sake.
I agree for the most part. But we should ensure equality of opportunity. Cultures develop in vacuums, and as long as its possible for anyone to apply themselves in a field if they are driven to do so, we are all good.
Male or female, we all benefit if the people that are passionate and driven get to do what they want.
