Bruh this comment section shows how important this video was.
My daughter is in stem. I did everything in my power to encourage her curiosity and celebrate her discoveries.
Some women have thin skin around men. I hear women joke with one another but if a man jokes in the same way, they don't roll with it. Men are hard on one another so we expect others to be able to laugh at things that are just cheap jokes. Jokes about anatomy is never cool so I understand there is a a line. Sometimes when woman are in mixed company they become hall monitors but when around women they are a lot tougher and more forgiving of women. Biased attitudes work both ways.
I can't wait to see the comments.
Please don't be so obvious with your comments and don't interpret my statement as a dare or challenge.
I give you an example, a person can take brutal criticism in family but it hurts outside. Since in school and colleges, mostly and I repeat mostly, girls stay with girls and boys with boys. So, it starts to feel a safe community.
When you go in other, at first you need time to gel up, make friends feel safe, then you are okay with jokes if they are in line. But before it, it feels demotivating.
I’m a stem major the ratio of men to women is about 4:1 in each of the fields the reason why there aren’t women in stem is because women aren’t going into it
It depends which field I guess. Stats published by HESA show that in the UK, women actually outnumber men in terms of overall university attendance in STEM subjects by around 10% when all science disciplines are accounted for.
@@eljay5009 they might have included nursing and pharmacy, phycology too
@@user-go9kw6wf4m Possibly. Are these not considered STEM subjects?
Why is it important to have more female engineers and computer programmers - but not important to have more male nurses and psychologists (roles that actually interact with people).
I'm not sure why men don't think women have the intellectual capacity to work in stem fields. I had no issue majoring in science and graduating at the top of my class as an honors student. I then went on to become a full-time laboratory technician in the stem field of genetics and ancestry. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here getting paid a comfortable living salary for the work I do if I truly sucked at it. Lol
What's crazy is women get paid more to do less all the time xD the push to narrow the so called wage gap was pretty effective in insuring women (who put in less hours on average) end up making the same as men (who put in massively MASSIVELY more hours on average) without actually having to match the hour commitment 😂its hilarious
@@antonioyeats2149 The only exception I can think of to that rule is if a woman has to go on maternity leave. But other than that, I do the same amount of work. At times (even more) than most of the guys where I am because my role is a little more demanding in comparison. I'm the one that manages all the specimen processing and data collections daily in the laboratory I'm working in. And I'm a one-person show. The whole laboratory floor itself is made up of about 24 women and only 16 men. But who gets paid more or less depends on who has what position, who's been on board the longest or who's working as a temporary or permanent employee. Whether male or female, temporary employees that have come to our laboratory to work in maintenance or in the cafeteria don't get paid as much as the permanent employees who are working up in the laboratory. And this is why I say gender really has no correlation as far as who gets a bigger paycheck. At my company it's all based on whose permanent and whose temporary. Or who has a college education and who doesn't. Obviously the people with a college degree are getting paid a lot more.
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever if you're putting in the same hours and working as hard during those hours you are an exception not the rule
@@antonioyeats2149 Well I don't know about other businesses. But at this laboratory (it's the rule).
@@SteelCowGirl4Ever all businesses collectively lol. Again, on average women work far far fewer hours
The only two stem fields women are dominating are health sciences and the Biological sciences (Biomedical, general biology.).
More female plumers and more male nurses too please...
@Harmony Alexandria Exactly the problem - women looking for "easier ways" is why the pay gap persists.
@Harmony Alexandria P.S. I myself am just lazy - I work HARD for about 10% of the work year, and sit back the other 90% and gather in the profits (online sales) of it all working 3 hours a day the rest of the year. But I have almost no competition due to the difficulty of the 10%.
shes talking about stems specifically. why men want to gatekeep stems so hard ?
@@jihanoski gatekeeping? I don’t here about an abundance of women wanting to do stem in the first place, maybe you seen many women wanting to get into it
The hardest topic as a chemistry ta is that men pee wearing their lab coats and women dont. Much harder to understand in science than any of the formulas and experiments.
i can barely hear
NEWS FLASH: Men and women are wired different. Why? I don't know, ask God why. Period, end of story.
Go ahead girls, get a job in stem. The door is right there. It’s open. Go through, society has no obligation to roll you.
and get no eggs, by the age 30. LOL.
I'm on it. So far, so good.
@@ganeshcsaiisc Eggs?
@@anotheryoutuberperson38 Good for you! I just read this article, and I'm stoked to know.
"While women’s mean GPA (2.76) is significantly higher than men’s mean GPA (2.49), the difference is relatively small. This pattern extends to mean first-year GPA disaggregated by STEM and non-STEM courses. In STEM courses, the first-year mean GPA for men is 2.28 and for women it is again significantly higher at 2.44. Similarly, in non-STEM courses, the first-year mean GPA for men is 2.60 and for women it is 2.92. It appears that young women outperform young men in college in both STEM and non-STEM courses but their advantage in non-STEM courses over STEM courses is greater than the corresponding advantage for men, a gendered pattern of performance consistent with prior research."
Women are seriously underrepresented but when women put their minds to it, contemporary studies show they could potentially outperform male peers.
@@TRINI333 ovum.
SHE IS VERY OBSESSED WITH GENDER.
No she isn't... she's just addressing real subjects
@@TRINI333 You want all the jobs and all the houses ??
But not with her subjects😂😂
built for bwc
STOP SAYING "BOYS CLUB" IT IS OFFENSIVE.
It's also not true. Stats published by HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) in the UK, indicate that women actually outnumber men by around 10% when all science subjects are accounted for (women also outnumber men at university by well over 30% when all subject areas are accounted for).
Some subjects are dominated by men that is true - but by the same token, many more subjects are massively dominated by women. Why aren't these subjects considered "girls clubs" using the same logic?
It's not offensive when clearly the majority is males. She could literally sight statistics. It's your choice to be offended at facts, but that doesn't mean she has to stop talking.
@@eljay5009 Not in the U.S.....
@@TRINI333 Women outnumber men in universities in the US by almost 2:1. I haven’t got a breakdown of individual subject areas but i’d be surprised if it was all that different to the UK.
@@eljay5009 okay, but generally saying they outnumber men isn't the case in arguement.
MAYBE SHE JUST HATES MEN.
No not at all
@@user-go9kw6wf4m Why does she only concentrate on the specific subject areas that men dominate in?
Stats published by HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) in the UK, indicate that women actually outnumber men by around 10% when all science subjects are accounted for.
@@eljay5009 wow
So, MIT is running about 50/50 but there needs to be more women? I thought the goal was to have an even split? They seem to be doing pretty well, so then why does she complain there aren't enough women in that field if clearly the proper ratio of 50/50 is happening? Maybe she expects people already working and established to suddenly quit so other people like her can replace them? She makes no sense.
Then she comments that women aren't working in engineering after getting a degree and that it MAY be due to sexism. Interestingly enough, men get degrees in engineering and then don't work in that field too. Yet is anyone claiming its because of sexism? I hope she finishes her degree and finds great joy and success in that field, because she should avoid public speaking in the future.
Stats from the UK show that women actually outnumber men in terms of overall attendance at science subjects by around 10% (and well over 30% when all subjects are considered). This hasn't been about equality for well over a decade.
She's talking about the general STEM field, not exactly the few places where they do over represent the fields.
Have you seen any science class in college? 95% women
Not engineering I have never met a woman who even thought that was a possible career path apart from my maths teacher -only 5% of registered engineers are women
@@tubbby1440 Which only goes to show that women favour some science subjects over others - not that they are disfavoured in science overall.
Stats published here in the UK by HESA indicate that women actually outnumber men by around 10% in terms of university attendance in science subjects.
i mean she is on the edge of tears but she wouldn’t care if this weight wasn’t put on her by feminists who all to often act like a mother who wants to live vicariously through her daughter.
Or so I presume.
She's pretty though, she could have my stem.
Like an apple, thats its girth guys.
Hope what they say about tight lipped asian women is true beyond the pair for words they use.
Doesn't she have any friends or family that can pull her aside and let her know just how warped her thinking is?
Actually, she's just thinking statistically. Thats completely logical and rational.
@@TRINI333 You are totaly right. Lets just ignore the fact that she dont look into statistics that shows how many of them go for STEM in the first place...
Men are just smarter. Sorry
the men ive met arent the smartest ive seen just saying :)
We need less! Because, the women who are already in STEM are performing worse! I am in STEM and I know this.
"I am in STEM and I know this."
Are you, though? A STEM person would justify their argument with stats and crunch the numbers.
@@anotheryoutuberperson38 I graduated from IISc in CS, You cant imagine of going there even in your next life. Anyway, Read James Damore's 10-page memo and you will understand what I am saying. I worked in some of the FAANG companies and I know the reality, Majority women are worst performers. Don't reply back here without reading that memo.
It's common sense that no one can put their statistics on a RUclips comments section. Its not possible. Grow up!
Haha mysogynist spotted
@@user-go9kw6wf4m dumbo spotted!
Well I'm a woman working in the stem fields of genetics and ancestry. And I wouldn't be here in this laboratory getting paid for the work I do if I truly sucked at it. So, I beg to differ. LMAO
We need more short men in the NBA! More blind referees in the NFL
Agreed.
haha nice joke dudebro, so for you we women have a physical disadvantage in stems ? u're not so clever, r u
Yes we need short men in NBA, short doesn't mean you can't be a good athlete.
wow so funny that you're implying that women are predisposed to being bad in stem, good one alpha bro. Bet you know so much about women dude
Bro how does that make sense with the subject.....
Well Monica you better brace yourself, you being a very very beautiful woman my experience the same thing. However before you look at it as sexism it is possible that just because you are a beautiful woman there might be some men that would like to ask you out. Some little more aggressive than others but it doesn't mean they have ill-will just means that you're hot and they would like to take you out. This world is so quick and trying to label things that people can't even be themselves no more. Things are not always what this world thinks it to be
that has nothing to do with the video shut up
No thanks
