There is controversy in the incelosphere about this, with some incels excited by the idea of having women to talk to about nerdy hobbies. Others claim that having higher amounts of women in STEM workplaces increases potential dating opportunities for incels. In contrast, most [[tradcon]] incels are vehemently against the idea. | ||

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

They also ignore that engineering such as computer engineering was not seen as proper academic work, but subordinate to physics and mathematics.<ref>http://www.bu.edu/eng/about/dean-lutchen/engineering-is-not-science/</ref> Also early computer engineering had an overlap with data entry and textile work, which were traditionally female domains.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#There_is_no_significant_gender_disparity_in_STEM_graduates_by_sex_in_the_U.S</ref> | ||
Many of these women often also received substantial male aid and patronage, or were even posthumously given credit for work they didn't play a large role in by eager feminists, e.g., Ada Lovelace, who is often claimed to be the first computer programmer in history, was likely predated by her confidant Charles Babbage in this accomplishment as he constructed the machine, and there is no actual evidence that she contributed in any substantial way to Babbage's work in this regard.<ref>http://robroy.dyndns.info/collier/ch3.html</ref> Moreover, she only published minor theoretical works which were never put into practice.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9Yn3i-DMKw&feature=youtu.be&t=9m19s</ref> | |||

The share of females in STEM is higher in developing countries than in developed countries. | The share of females in STEM is higher in developing countries than in developed countries.[5] This is commonly known as the so-called 'gender-equality paradox', where more gender egalitarian countries are often seen to exhibit more substantial sexual dimorphism in several occupational, physiological, and behavioral outcomes compared to 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.[6] | ||
Other studies have also provided further evidence for this, finding that gender gaps in academic performance are greater in more developed nations.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289620300313</ref> Other research has reinforced this finding even further, finding that in two-thirds of countries women have equal performance in high school science, but that far fewer women chose to engage in college-level STEM study than one would expect given their high school science and mathematics performance.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797617741719</ref> The largest gender gaps in terms of female enrollment in college-level STEM subjects are found in the Scandinavian countries of Finland, Norway and Sweden, which are commonly known for their feminist and progressive governments and culture.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797619892892?icid=int.sj-abstract.similar-articles.2</ref> | |||
This seemingly paradoxical greater representation of women in STEM in more traditional societies is seen as possibly born from economic necessity, and it may also stem from the parental restriction of women's career choices. Since people in these countries often have more salient immediate survival concerns and a stronger incentive to escape poverty compared to developed countries, it can represent a sound economic investment to induce a talented daughter to enter a potentially high paying STEM career path. | |||
Whereas when women are given more agency to choose their own course of study, many appear to gravitate towards degrees that are likely generally less beneficial to one's future employment prospects, such as 'intersectional feminist studies', or other academic subjects that women may generally have a greater aptitude for, or prefer engaging with, compared to men. Academic affirmative action may also provide further incentives for women to participate in these type of studies. | |||
This evidence essentially implies that women's lack of representation in STEM fields in Western countries is mostly down to their choice of college major, with women tending to avoid STEM subjects. It is also possible that feminism (if one strictly defines this as the legal and social equality of women to men) serves to decrease the number of women in STEM. | |||

Even though Western countries have invested billions of dollars in furthering female education, women's intellectual output relative to men's does not seem to have increased to meaningful extent. Progress is largely made by a tiny group of individuals, which are nearly entirely men, as was always the case.
