+--- Thread: Fewer women in STEM from more gender equal countries (/thread-4900.html)
Fewer women in STEM from more gender equal countries - elte - Feb 15, 2018
"You’d expect countries which make it harder for women to carve their own path in life to have fewer women involved in STEM fields — however, that is not the case. It’s actually quite the opposite: countries like Algeria or Albania enjoy a greater percentage of women (and of their total female population) amongst their STEM graduates than Finland, Norway, or Sweden."

Just more evidence that Damore's memo was factual. There has to be economic factors to break the natural interests of women.

Given that the "new" West's monomaniacal fixation in trying to force a radical balance of all categorizations of individuals in all endeavors "might" circuitously trace back historically to similar intellectual origins for that in the USSR, I guess it's not surprising...
... That the old Soviet career placement system more successfully met its quotas in STEM proportionality (for at least the period sported by the account below).
Which, given the supposed effort of that pervasive governing apparatus in keeping most professions at par in terms of income, probably also lacked the dangling monetary rewards. Perhaps when a country is not confused about its cultural / ideological identity and is not pretentious about the degree of its micro-managing tyranny, it accomplishes the goals of its micro-managing tyranny better.
Soviet Russia Had a Better Record of Training Women in STEM Than America Does Today
