Great: One Third of the Women in STEM Studies Now Leaving Those Fields to Pursue Courses in... Social Justice Warrioring
Apparently not content with merely being cartoonish, extremist feminists now want to make the infamous cartoon about them real AF.
I'm sure these women's choices to leave the high-paying fields of engineering and science for softer studies in gender equality is all the fault of The Patriarchy. A study found that one third of the women in STEM fields tracked changed majors to either a "helping field" or one about social justice. I don't mind the helping fields at all -- they're critical. But I would point out that when people explain that the reason there are more men in engineering and more women in nursing is that men are more interesting in things and women are more interested in people, the intersectional feminists claim that's the Patriarchal Nazis saying that, and it's a White Man's Lie. And yet... here we are. The other women who dropped out of STEM went into the garbage fields of wasting Daddy's money to show Daddy that you don't want any part of him or his Patriarchy, except the part about being supported with no expectation of ever being able to pay back the loans he co-guaranteed.Led by Colorado School of Mines professor Greg Rulifson, the study tracked 34 freshmen engineering majors over the course of four years to explore what makes students, especially women, abandon engineering in lieu of other fields. Of the 21 female students interviewed, fully one-third left engineering by their junior year. Rulifson and his co-author Angela Bielefeldt identified one factor common to all female students who left: the desire to "help society/other people," or "social responsibility." The "social responsibility" definition includes "care for the marginalized and disadvantaged," "environmental conservation," and "empathy," the professors noted.Empathy is a real Growth Field. Women working in that field can make upwards of 79 cents on each dollar that Male Empathy Workers make.
Of the 21 female students, 14 expressed a strong dedication to social responsibility. Half of those students eventually switched majors upon realizing they wanted to pursue fields they felt had more to do with helping people.

NTTAWT. If there were some massive societal push for men to go into studies that have been tremendously dominated by women, I think a lot of them would also find that they hate it (and/or can't hack it) and would drop out too.

No surprise. About 1/3 of women who go into STEM fields don't belong there. Well, a more than 1/3, actually. But they are being told that they will have no problem with the math and stuff ... because men and women are all the same. But then they come face-to-face with reality.

I know a woman, pretty much first in her class in a top notch engineering school - think DJT for which one. Only woman graduating in her class.
But as an actual human being? Train wreck. Asperger's and Savant Syndrome at minimum.
Washed my hands of her a decade and a half ago. She had no filters. No empathy. No class. Nothing but an obsession to secure money by any means. She jumped from STEM into the legal arena.
I find it kind of reassuring that most women aren't of that genre and are getting out of STEM.

I was surprised at how many US students were in the course, and how much assistance they needed at it. I wondered at the time, how they could not know by the time they graduated from High School whether or not they were interested in STEM (which acronym I did not know back then) as to why they weren't better prepared.
Mostly guys, and I'll bet very few, if any, of THEM lasted more than a year or two.
Did the study look at guys, too? And if so, were the results any different?

-HR departments, where they get to boss --- oops! I mean HELP --- employers and employees.
-The ever-growing field of "diversity and inclusion" counselors, re-education camp directors, thought police.
-Left-wing NGOs, where people who can come up with 'research' papers proving that guns cause global warming actually get paid.
The sad fact is that there actually ARE plenty of jobs for these clowns.
Of course, if we the taxpayers would quit funding and/or mandating such positions, the game would come to a screeching halt.
But no.........

Two companies in FIU bridge construction accused of 'shoddy' work in previous collapses
"The company that designed the bridge - Figg Bridge Engineers - had an even worse accident on a bigger project happened almost six years ago in Virginia, according to the New Times.
Four workers were injured in June 2012 when Figg-assembled span fell apart, causing "a 90-ton concrete portion of the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge to drop 40 feet onto railroad tracks below," New Times wrote."

... many of you seem, well - skeptical - about the projected miraculous projected recovery of John McCain. So - I give you - The Miracle of Rick Hendrick.
Rick Hendrick, most famous as owner of Hendrick Motorsports, was convicted of mail fraud related to his auto dealership business. Two weeks before indictment - he was diagnosed with leukemia - resulting in a three year sentence being reduced to one year house arrest and two years probation.
Miraculously - Rick fought off a 95% mortality rate and completely survived this - to receive a Presidential Pardon from Bill Clinton. In nothing less than a Modern Miracle - Hendrick gained weight and lost no hair during his heroic battle.
Don't doubt that John McCain can be back in that Senate Seat.

FIU bridge argle-bargle:
Officials said the bridge should be completed early next year. FIU President Mark Rosenberg said in addition to connecting the campus with Sweetwater, the 289-feet-long bridge will become a destination for students and faculty.
"This bridge is not just someplace to someplace else," Rosenberg said. "It will have places where people can study, where they can contemplate, where they can observe the incredible traffic and dynamism of West Dade."
Plenty of dynamism today! Right, chief?

Sadly, there are math teachers out there who aren't any good at their job, either.
Now, I fully admit that I'm not that smart, and I'm pretty bad at math to begin with, but I had to drop a math class because I went up to the instructor after class and asked for advice since I was struggling, and he said : "I can't help people who don't already know how to do this."

I figure fewer guys dropped out and the ones who did mainly didn't want to do the work. In general though, most women simply are not math minded and many of the ones that are don't want to work in a science field. This is from a guy who struggles more with math than my wife who started out in engineering. She sadly had to settle for an MRS degree.

I attend daughter's graduation from Corcoran College of Art and Design a decade back in which one of the pretenious little shit graduates spoke and offered the factoid that there were then as many Graphics Arts graduates occurring as there were Mechanical Engineers. "It's OUR time now!" he bellowed, much to the delight of his equally over-schooled but under-educated classmates. The implied outcome was, of course, that now the artists would begin pulling in engineers' salaries and benefits because ... parity.
My scoffing about his ignorance went on for quite some time.

My wife was dual major. But when it came to math, I was her tutor. It appears sexual osmosis has some value.
I wish to investigate this phenomenon further with women selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature

And yes, lots of "downshifting" occurred in Sophomore year.
Perhaps it would have been better to downshift from "Prestigious Name University" (overrated) to "State College" and still get that Engineering degree. But that is water past the dam now.

Not so much anymore. My niece and my nephew's wife, both of whom have very good jobs, went back to work full time within months of giving birth. My niece who is an engineer works for a tech company that has on site child care, including for infants. She can see her baby any time she wants via her smart phone or laptop, and she can go over to see the baby on her breaks. My nephew and his wife's baby is in childcare not at the workplace, but they can see the child via phones and laptops. Most young moms I know now expect to work full time.

Leftist views can be ranked from 0 to 10 (0 being centrist to 10 being well beyond Stalin) determined by what percentage of Leftist Talking points she agrees with and how strongly she agrees (or disagrees) with them.
Hotness can also be determined on a scale of 0 to 10 as well.
If a girl's leftism score is less than or equal to her hotness score AND her leftism score is less than 10 (a girl with a Leftism score of 10 may actively try to kill you) the SJW can be overlooked.

Hmmm ...
60 Miles * 5280 Feet * 12 Inches = 3,801,600 Inches of Cock (IOC).
Let's Back/Check this ... using the standard Eight Inches for Eight Minutes (8/
criteria of Male Porn Stardom. I'll also be using a conservative One Stroke per Second (S/sec) delivery rate.
8 Minutes * 60 Seconds * 8 Inches = 3,840 IOC
3,801,600 IOC / 3,840 IOC = 990 Cock Events. Stormy Daniels appeared in 151 film credits. So, assuming 3 scenes per film, and a much more conservative 453 Cock Events ...
We can project that Miss Daniels has probably received around 30 Miles of Cock (MOC) on-screen. Increased delivery rates would be offset by scenes involving non-cock delivery activities. Also, we can confidently project that Miss Daniels engaged in less than 500 Cock Events (CEs), involving far fewer than Cock Delivery Systems.

And EVERY undergraduate college education should have the traditional liberal arts as a foundation, math, science, history, English, logic, etc. But I am pissing in the wind at this point, those days are over I guess. Now most non major related courses are forced SJW indoctrination.
I go under the assumption that those who excel at STEM are intelligent enough to learn traditional liberal arts on their own if their schools aren't requiring it.

Of course, the people being hurt the most are the women who buy the bs that they should be pursuing STEM degrees to fight the patriarchy only to have to change majors when they find they are either not capable or not motivated to stay on that track. It it years wasted from *their* lives when they end up changing majors and ending up with no benefit from many of the classes they already completed.
One of the things that keep women's wages down is just less time spent in their profession, usually because they have babies. But, delaying their start by a year or two because they were on the wrong degree track doesn't help either.

Remember how many people you got drunk with in your Freshman and Sophomore years who disappeared at the end of those years?
Yeah, those people usually wound up where they should be.
Posted by: Sharkman at March 15, 2018 06:43 PM
Yeah...pretty much spot on. I think of the people I knew in freshman year...the only cohort group that really stuck it out and did well were in ROTC with me. The guys in the frat...much less so.

How about just privately separate unless you have got a guy picked out already. She knows this will be used to bash the President. Seems like a vindictive move . Of course I have no idea of the dynamic of the relationship so it's just an uneducated observational opinion.

Honestly? Parents out there? Don't send your high schooler straight to College or University. Make them work a shit job for a year or two out of high school, teach them the real importance of school. Then a junior college lower division, with the plan to transfer to Big Name University, and THEN Big Name University.

Was going to be a Math Major...
Then... WW2 Ended.. just as she transferred to Santa Barbara..... and suddenly she was competing with the Guys who had been off to War...
She switched to English...

lack of interest. There are a lot of people/institutions/programs encouraging women to go into STEM, but a lot of those women try it out and decide they like doing other things more.
longer work hours.
Women who want families need to be working on that in their 20's, early 30's at the latest, and that's the age when high-tech workers work crazy hours. Society is selling women a bill of goods by telling them they can delay their families for a career. If your kids have any special needs... forget about it.
salary - (taxes + childcare) = low return on work-hour investment (for married STEM ladies).
I know a lot of tech women who left STEM careers to be stay-at-home moms because their take-home pay wasn't worth all the hours you have to put in, once you factored in childcare and taxes. Women in high-paying stem fields often have husbands in the same field, so they get hit hard by high marginal rates.

You can:
- create and manufacture products that people use to make their lives easier, better, and safer
- build safe roads and bridges
- employ many blue-collar and semi-skilled people in well-paying jobs
- make medical equipment that help people live longer
- teach, in a high school program, students about the profession, and help identify those students who could, with encouragement, succeed in engineering and manufacturing
AND, get paid at least as much - and often MORE - than men doing the same job.
What idiots.
