@ubi I think it's like ... You have to be good at everything STEM. Haha.

@geraineon Yes. University enrollment for STM is majority female. Only E is mostly male.

@ubi ah true. my cousins who went into engineering (specifically civil engineering) said it can get very misogynistic

@geraineon It's the last bastion of mankind. Everything else has been taken over by womenkind.

@ubi In Iran, I majored in applied math in university and more than 95% of my classmates were women.

@amirrahnama Same with the math department at my university in Malaysia, majority women.

That's why I find it weird that the myth still persists. There's so much empirical evidence that disproves it outside of western culture.

@ubi
western culture is very much about suppressing females, especially in areas where you can make a lot of money > male overrepresentation in stem simply accelerates a process resulting in exclusion of females in many career fields

last year's protests in iran partly resulted from those problems
