I do think less girls are in the tech, especially mathematics. It could be mysogynistic, but my mother explains this as that most girls are less adept at highly specialized areas, compared to men.
It's not biological, it's social and cultural. Women are low-key conditioned to think and/or state that they are more dependent and not as smart. It's shitty.
Less women and girls make it into tech for a wade variety of reasons, not the least of which is the conditioning she receives (whether directly or indirectly) that plays a huge part in career choices. Many girls are not given the same opportunities as the boys because “it’s a waste, they’re just going to become mothers anyways”. Many girls are not pushed into STEM courses and programs because of outdated and wrong assumptions like “girls are bad at math” or “girls aren’t interested in science”, and so aren’t given the same attention as their male peers in these classes that they’re required to take. As a result, teachers with these inherent beliefs won’t present the same options to the girls as they do the boys.
Just out of interest. How did you interpret my post that women can't do science?
Women generally don't just care. Same with cars and other engineering stuff. Does NOT mean women can't do technology, nor that there are no female mechanics or engineers.

Cultural thing?
Consider that the overwhelming majority of persons who read your comment:
Downvoted you
Agree that you're ignorant, sexist, misognystic, and confidently incorrect
Agree on the premise that women avoid you discussing science
And then you further prove your sexism and confidence in your belief by posting that? And then you try to backpedal your original comment by adding a stereotyped generalization? Plus you attempt to gaslight me/manipulate me with that "Cultural thing?", thinking you're real cute and coy?
LOL No wonder women avoid you. You pull that same shit on them!
In other words, @random_character_a@lemmy.world believes that "Discussing Science with Women" means "Talking at Women and explaining why this is Fact and why I'm right".
If you look a little deeper it appears they may be making a genuine observation. If the spelling is any indication of education it would suggest they may not know any women who care about science. If they really are discussing “resent” science headlines and they’re spelling recent incorrectly they are either teenagers, an adult male from a low socioeconomic area leading to poor education outcomes or a mixture.
It's also possible the 'headlines' they're discussing are cryptobro bullshit or that debunked pos that said women panic more about bad news than men. You start citing 'scientific research' that sounds like Tate's wet dream, it's gonna clear the room faster than cabbage farts
Exactly. For @random_character_a@lemmy.world , he doesn't recognize the reason why women vacate the area around him. (For instance, he calls them "females" rather than women).
The reason why women vacate the area around him is because they can immediately tell he's someone to avoid, and thus avoid him.
