It's not that they are all incompetent, but it is the inefficiencies and demotivation they create. With their high agreeableness, women entering the STEMs are thought to have multiplied bureaucracy and ''safe spaces'' preventing male nerds from getting things done.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0TvDqsqjRU</ref> | ||

The share of females in STEM is higher in developing countries than in developed countries.<ref>https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/595942</ref> This is commonly known as the gender-equality paradox, where more gender egalitarian countries are often seen to exhibit stronger sexual dimorphism in a number of occupational, physiological and behavioral outcomes than many less egalitarian countries. For example, Fryer and Levitt (2010) found less of a gender gap in mathematics PISA scores in Middle-Eastern countries than Western countries.<ref>https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/app.2.2.210</ref> | |||
This is seen as possibly born from economic necessity, and it may also stem from parental restriction of women's career choices. Since people in these countries often have more salient immediate survival concerns than in developed countries, it can represent a sound economic investment to induce a talented daughter to enter a potentially high paying STEM career path, as opposed to the 'intersectional feminist studies' type nonsense that girls in developed countries are frequently allowed to study. | This is seen as possibly born from economic necessity, and it may also stem from parental restriction of women's career choices.

There is a fairly strong desire in feminist, liberal developed countries to bring more women into STEM fields. One tactic has been basically letting any woman with arms into any low-level tech job. A tactic with a low success rate. Other tactics have consisted of campaigns to encourage "girls who code". Proponents include Karlie Kloss, Hillary Clinton, the entire US Democratic Party, various tech bootcamps, and various documentaries such as Code Girl Movie.<ref>https://www.codegirlmovie.com/</ref> | There is a fairly strong desire in feminist, liberal developed countries to bring more women into STEM fields.
