new good aussie vid just dropped
college enrollment is at 60:40 women:men.
What’s wrong with that? Sounds like the policy of educating women has succeeded beyond all expectations? Are men crying themselves to sleep over it? They can do just fine in the trades, it seems they keep saying.
Bait post. Men are not a monolith, trades should be open to women, and we shouldn’t see any large disparities between different demographics’ college rates. When you see that most CS students are male, your instinct should be “why are women being shut out of this” rather than “gee women must not want to be programmers”. Where does that feeling come from? Social realities shutting them out. Same when you see that most college students are female. It’s not that men just innately don’t feel like going to college. Something is up.
If you call something a “bait”, then you’re supposed to not take said bait.
That’s the entire point of calling something bait.
The point of calling it bait is to warn that nobody should get into genuine back-and-forths about the content of the message. Unlike 4chan bait, a quick corrective reply won’t derail the broader conversation since we have threads. Since the comment received 3+ upbears, we have mistaken comrades who need to be educated.
“why are women being shut out of this” rather than “gee women must not want to be programmers”.
the real question there is why at the highschool level do so many women drop out of stem fields. Probably has something to do with a sexist thing society does but which thing and how do we fix it
