A female entry into low-paying STEM spaces, while it may be corrupting to the STEM field, may slow down the acceleration of inceldom. According to a study by Ivy [[penis|Wong]], students in single-sex classes report later onset of dating experience than members of co-ed classes.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-018-1187-6</ref> According to the [[Donnelly Study]],<ref>http://cda.morris.umn.edu/~meeklesr/celibacy.html</ref> some incels report gender segregation in work and lack of exposure to females in general as a cause of their celibacy. "Virginal and single men were more likely to be in sex-segregated occupations than women and to see this as a barrier". Redditor's also mention lack of exposure to the opposite gender as a cause of their inceldom (the 9th most common cause).<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326904341_Why_Men_Stay_Single_Evidence_from_Reddit</ref> | A female entry into low-paying STEM spaces, while it may be corrupting to the STEM field, may slow down the acceleration of inceldom.

This does not mean that decreasing sex segregation alone would stop or reverse rising inceldom as incel proponents of traditional social arrangements point out. Women in non-segregated environmnets still discriminate against incels, as meeting through coworkers has declined 50% since 1990 despite decreasing gender segregation.<ref>https://www.swiss-miss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Screenshot-2019-07-14-19.41.53-480x377.png</ref> 1990 saw the highest share of couples meeting through the workplace<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/08/how-much-life-has-changed-in-one-incredible-chart-about-dating/</ref>, and inceldom was relatively low at that point, only around 9% using the broadest possible definiton of inceldom.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high/</ref> Traditionalists may also point to past sex-segregated societies where partnership were more or less arranged outside work as proof that one can have a sex-segregated workplace without inceldom. | This does not mean that decreasing sex segregation alone would stop or reverse rising inceldom as incel proponents of traditional social arrangements point out.
