"half of the scientists" Almost as if there are 50% female people on earth.

it really says something that the western world is so much less -- the united states in particular only had 28% of its women in stem as recently as 2011

What's that joke that goes "It was terrible. Hordes of rampaging communists everywhere, leaving a trail of schools and hospitals in their wake."

Had fucking dream went greet my new neighbors but one of the old neighbors was telling them not to talk to me because I was a communist because I had supported Bernie Sanders. And we got into a yelling fight because when I said rather be a communist then a pedophile supporter he got really pissed off.

Anyway still agree we need more scientists no matter the gender unfortunately most are leaving the US for somewhere better.

They seem to fail to understand, the coersion is the only bad part. That's like saying "things don't change, some black people chose to work on farms, the coersion has gone but it's still a problem". No it's not a problem, anyone should be allowed to choose to be a farmer.
