Every time I see this, that "women are smarter than you are" reply annoys me just a little bit.

It's a very confident blanket statement about an individual they know nothing about, delivered with that signature Reddit snark that just always manages to piss me off lol. It also completely misses the joke they were setting up about how it's hard to explain quantum mechanics, which is ironic considering the topic.

Because women are smarter than @R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone is?

the gender gap in Stem and trades is easily explainable: women have a significantly lower interest in those fields

my trade is one of the top 5 most dangerous careers. 2 of my friends have died in the job. it has 98% men, 2%women. I've never heard a feminist advocate for more female representation in this trade. can anyone explain that?

the 2 females I've met in the trade were exceptional. they both worked their way into managerial positions. this demonstrates the meritocracal ideology in the trades.

women rarely make it through an apprenticeship. an apprenticeship involves a tremendous amount of physical strength, which women are less likely to possess.

my question is why are feminists not advocating for representation in military, labor, and skilled labor sectors?

"They" tried to trick them into coding for a decade for it to just be obsolete in the end.

[–] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 minutes ago

feminists complained about lack of representation in stem sectors, so there was an effort to include women. now they are included

explain to be why feminists aren't complaining about the 9% female representation in trades?

Aren't we? Maybe we aren't asking loud enough. 😉

show me one example where feminists complained about not enough women plumbers, or lineman, or carpenters
