A female entry into STEM spaces, while it may be corrupting to the STEM field, it is not entirely clear how much it affects the prevalence of inceldom. Theoretically, the greater prevalence of the opposite sex should imply more opportunities for finding a partner. | A female entry into STEM spaces, while it may be corrupting to the STEM field, it is not entirely clear how much it affects the prevalence of inceldom.

Indeed, acording to a study by Ivy [[penis|Wong]], students in single-sex classes report later onset of dating experience and fewer dating partners than members of co-ed classes,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-018-1187-6</ref> however the effect sizes were small (d = .2) and in most other measures of sexual activity there were no significant effects. | Indeed, acording to a study by Ivy [[penis|Wong]], students in single-sex classes report later onset of dating experience and fewer dating partners than members of co-ed classes,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-018-1187-6</ref> however the effect sizes were small (d = .2) and in most other measures of sexual activity there were no significant effects. | ||
According to the [[Donnelly Study]], some incels report gender segregation at work and lack of exposure to females in general as a cause of their celibacy, especially among male incels.<ref>http://cda.morris.umn.edu/~meeklesr/celibacy.html</ref> A study of Redditors found lack of exposure to the opposite gender as the ~9th most common cause of their singledom (see [[causes of inceldom]]). | According to the [[Donnelly Study]], some incels report gender segregation at work and lack of exposure to females in general as a cause of their celibacy, especially among male incels.<ref>http://cda.morris.umn.edu/~meeklesr/celibacy.html</ref> A study of Redditors found lack of exposure to the opposite gender as the ~9th most common cause of their singledom (not inceldom) and 4.70% of all responses (see [[causes of inceldom]]). | ||
On the other hand, most STEM jobs are fairly high-status positions and hence such women are expected to become more choosy about other men's incomes (see [[hypergamy]]), especially due to the highly competitive nature of the field. In addition, with [[metoo]] and other anti-harrassment measures, the workplace is becoming a more unpopular place for sexual relationships to form, e.g. meeting through coworkers has declined 50% since 1990 despite decreasing gender segregation.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Meeting_online_is_now_the_primary_way_relationships_are_formed</ref> | On the other hand, most STEM jobs are fairly high-status positions and hence such women are expected to become more choosy about other men's incomes (see [[hypergamy]]), especially due to the highly competitive nature of the field.
