Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

However, pre medical programs for veterinary school, dentistry, medicine, and biomedical are the same, and they are very difficult and very competitive, because the material typically comes down too someone giving PowerPoints from a class pack and then giving a pre-made test, and having no idea whether or not what's being presented is correct because it's become far too complicated for any one specialist to understand all the undergraduate courses they're supposed to teach. So, it's about self-teaching and beating a test bank of high-level material that was poorly developed at a third rate school by someone hired by Pearson for pocket money.

E.g. it's much easier to take out a scarecrow full of straw than fight a man, but you still get seen punching someone out for a good video.

Why is this a straw man argument? Because women are highly participatory in STEM. What has happened is that women are extremely overrepresented in certain fields and almost non-existent in others. Some of this is economic and some of this is because some fields are safer landing places for women than others.

What would you do if you found out that someone had broken into your home while you were sleeping?

Axiom-based sciences like math and physics are wonderful. You don't have to fight for a point on an exam because a recent paper strongly suggests a given virus ISN'T endogenous and the professor hasn't kept up with their literature, so to get the point back you have to spend and hour finding and collating literature …for one point. And there are 10 points on the exam that you can argue are wrong. Do you have time for this part time job?

So, it's not about the STEM areas that are highly represented by women being easier. My God, I love statistics. I could live a peaceful life running omnibus tests, monte Carlo simulations, and explaining the limitations of presence-only MaxEnt models and writing papers advocating data positive and negative informed approaches, locked in an office, getting lunch delivered. But women in math is super low, still. Which is weird, because, again, it's just following axioms, with some flavor of Applied mathematics.

But us chicks have not dominated physics. And I can tell you why, they treat women like trash. I have had a couple extremely bizarre interactions in physically isolated applied physics labs, and I'm like “Oh, if this is what the campus tour meet and greet feels like, I'd run, screaming.”

Getting a good grade in group theory means memorizing a bunch of rules about groups, remembering shit about sets from the last class, then applying it problems of a type you can predict you'll be asked about. Like, the bonus question will be about clopen (closed and open featured) topologies. Its well-trodden ground, structured, ordered, and agreed upon at the undergraduate and most of the graduate level.

But UNDER REPRESENTATION in math, physics, and engineering.

I have taken a few cross listed undergraduate courses as an established professional adult with a graduate degree and background in industry. Watching these young people, majority women, in pre-med get abused by an arbitrary and subjective system, it's more like a gulag than college.

Why are white women so hard to date?

However, we see 70% female presence in some veterinary schools. A big part of this is the job is not as lucrative as it was so we're seeing fewer men being pushed to compete for it, or choosing to compete for it. Certain areas of the life Sciences is waaaay female over-represented.

In order to make women look bad, a distorted non-reality is presented, that is easy to take down, thus the argument maker and their followers can bond and gain strength through taking down easy, fake points, seemingly denigrating their opponent.

So it's going to take effort and a certain quotient of underlying characteristics, but the work will have a prove-able, right answer, and everything presented is solvable, with limited, specific material to draw from for advanced topics.

Physics, for example, is pretty straightforward. It's abstract, but I've never seen an undergraduate be told to model a boundary problem inside a Dirac Sea.

So this is an example of a straw man argument.

Why is it male dominated? As my partner summarizes the situation, in a falsetto high school girl voice, “math makes my boobs hurt.” There are socially held narratives about math, and other abstract axiom based sciences, that exclude women, and women are punished for participating by those in power, and prevented from gaining entry in the first place by gatekeeping asshats.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

So we have significant OVER REPRESENTATION of women in biomedical undergrad, professional programs, and PhD (just a squidge in the PhD numbers, but still >50%). Even medical professional, MD, doctor programs are female majority.
