Why?

Disconnect your Internet.

Hedy Lamarr's invention of a secret communications system during World War II for radio-controlling torpedoes, employing "frequency hopping" technology, laid the technological foundations for everything from Wi-Fi to GPS. She also happened to be a world-famous film star.

I'm pretty sure it's harder to find a job/be taken seriously as a woman in those fields.

But it's probably because we're just not interested like the males aren't interested in fashion,interior design or nusing, generally.

sexism tbh

Hmm must be partly because of the society "brainwashing" people and addressing them to certain roles, partly because they don't have any interest in it.

Engineering and Math sound boring. Fashion is cool and fun.

Why do men hate Fashion and Interior Design ?

Why ?

It's mostly this one. I'm a woman studying Computer Science and you cannot imagine how many female friends of mine from other majors can't even properly send an email... They honestly don't really understand how computer works. When I was exchanging cartridges in my printer, my neighbours behind a wall were discussing how I could get a man to do it for me and how no one from their female friends could do it. Brother-in-law of my uncle forbade his son choosing clothes because he was very picky and "he isn't a girl".

It's 2016 and it's honestly scary how people continue to have this harmful mindset that limits their children.

Also believe me, being a feminine woman in a male-dominated environment is far from being fun and games. Writing out all degrading/unpleasant situations that I've encountered because of my sex/gender would take me quite long.

Girls are pushed out of math and science just like boys are pushed out of fields deemed "feminine" like fashion, design and social work. I remember hearing a study that if they removed boys from the classroom the gap in how girls perform in math is reversed(better performance) but for boys nothing changed in their performance. Its really the stigma that girls shouldn't be there or are no good at it that holds them back. Also I do think there will always be a slight favor of boy towards math and science related careers because they tend to be more left (logic)brained while girls are more flexible and tend to be more right(creative) brained.

And f*ck math its hard af

Engineering programs can contain up to 90% of applied maths. You have to love to calculate things and solve problems.

I don't know the feeling of loneliness, there is always something to do. Since primary school I explored roadworks, dragged all kinds of obsolete or defect devices home to see what it does, doesn't do, if it can repaired or if the parts can be salvaged.

Hardly the description of a girl. Like there are girls not knowing what loneliness is.

If a girl shows interest in the profession and technology, I would train her like anyone else. Men aren't naturally good at it or love it. Among the men, "true" engineers are a rare breed in the profession.

I was delighted when they explained what calculators are doing to calculate a sine, a cosines, a tangent,... of any random number. The students around me were like "Why should we know what the calculator is doing it for us?". Just in case when all the calculators are gone, I can keep doing it on paper with a pencil. I have one of these, just in case I need it:


If they gave up, didn't even try to read the included instructions? What can I do about it?

They prefer to wash the dishes

Men prefer to talk about women as aliens instead of examining the reasons for why people from their own gender do things the way they do.

(@OP)

I can't believe that anyone would dream of another day of washing the dishes.

Cause math sucks and they have taste.

Because girls are raised in various ways throughout their daily lives which subsequently leads them to not as likely enter those fields.

As a female engineering student, I believe it's because society makes them think it's not for them. I'm a technical high school graduate and even there it took me quite some time to convince my classmates (and some profs) that I can actually understand all the technical stuff and lots of the times even better than all the guys. The same goes for uni, it takes time for women to be taken seriously, so you really have to love what you do to stick with it.

People don't even realize how much comments like "You're a girl, why do you wanna study Engineering/Math/Science?" or "Do you realize it's a men's field?" affect women, especially little girls. If you're raised thinking something's not for you or would be too hard for you, of course you won't choose to study it.

It's the other way round. From birth men/women are pushed into different categories and women are usually taught to do more expressive roles. Interestingly in countries where there's more female doctors the role isn't considered as prestigious and pays significantly less. Read more here.

This is one major reason why women make much less than men.

The majors men overwhelmingly take part it like math, science, engineering, and tech tend to do better than the humanities, social and liberal arts majors.

This is likely because we don't put much emphasis on women doing math and science. And men who go into mostly female areas will likely earn more such as in nursing.
