The article is such a sham. The studies and facts are there, just bent to align with gender politics. I have two problems with the article:
1. The author tries to equate 'skill' with 'math and science test scores'. This is a huge glaring non sequitur. Women are not developing an interest in math and science skill, they are just testing better. I wonder why. Boys are dropping out completely and propping average female scores.
2. “These choices could be due to social structures that are pervasive and lifelong and that are shaping their preferences and ideas about what girls do versus what boys do. One of the most fascinating questions to answer is why and how some females resist cultural expectations and do pursue degrees in engineering.”
This is bullshit heresay. These choices could be due to fucking unicorns and Lisa Frank.
