I found this in my developmental psychology textbook.
Seeing studies like this always make me want to scream at the people who say that men are naturally superior in science and mathematics and women are simply naturally oriented toward literature and history. Imagine if girls were just raised like boys and given the opportunities to be successful or encouraged to pursue STEM education. How much “smarter” would women be if we began the race at the starting line instead of 100 feet behind?
Man, I will answer ANY kid’s science questions I’M JUST THRILLED THEY’RE INTERESTED IN SCIENCE - and if I don’t know the answer I still get all excited like, “Shit that is a great question, let’s go find out right now!” Who cares about gender?
