'''Women in STEM''' is a [[meme]] pushed by technocratic feminists to increase female power and representation in IT. There is controversy in the incelosphere about this, with some men excited by the idea of having women to talk to about nerdy hobbies, while [[tradcon]] incels are vehemently against the idea. | '''Women in STEM''' is a [[meme]] pushed by technocratic feminists to increase female power and representation in IT.

Rosalind Franklin is frequently claimed to have helped discovering DNA, but she was actually mocking the idea of helical DNA and was uncooperative.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160314212535/http://boysmeneducation.com/the-truth-of-rosalind-franklin-and-photograph-51/</ref> | Rosalind Franklin is frequently claimed to have helped discovering DNA, but she was actually mocking the idea of helical DNA and was uncooperative.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160314212535/http://boysmeneducation.com/the-truth-of-rosalind-franklin-and-photograph-51/</ref> | ||
Even the unquestionably most distinguished female scientist in history, Marie Curie-Skłodowska (a 2 time Nobel prize winner), is apparently less eminent in regards to encyclopedia entries and academic citations, than her husband and colleague Pierre Curie, according to the author Charles Murray.<ref>Murray, C. 2003. Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950. pp 126.</ref> | Even the unquestionably most distinguished female scientist in history, Marie Curie-Skłodowska (a 2 time Nobel prize winner), is apparently less eminent in regards to encyclopedia entries and academic citations, than her husband and colleague Pierre Curie, according to the author Charles Murray.<ref>Murray, C. 2003.

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> | |||
