Physicists show bias against female job applicants

[Annik]

Its because they're not interested.

Women can do anything men can do, but if they have no passion to pursue careers in physics, then they won't, quite simply. Same goes for everything else in life.

Seriously how many girls did you lot know, for example, wanted to play chess in school? None that I knew.

When I was growing up, I found myself far more interested in stereotypically "male" activities. I quickly realized I was in the minority. I was often ostracized for liking video games, heavy rock music and generally having a male circle of friends.

That being said, women are statistically less likely to go into hard maths and sciences. I submit it's a sociological phenomenon; it's the effect of conditioning our girls with their expected gender roles. This doesn't mean that they are less or more capable in the fields. It only means that likely due to sociological factors, women are less likely to be interested in the subjects.

I think women are allot smarter and better than men in many area's. Maybe it is sexism, but from the women around me they haven't been offended yet just men. Man *Hey that's sexism women are not better than us!* I'm allowed to have whatever opinion I want.

It's kinda funny I mentioned the communication skills and working together. It's not like you can say women are just as physically strong as us, Indeed they can be and surpass with intensive workouts.

An interesting question, have any women on AF been offended by me in any ways? Only women answer.

I think I would value your compliments much more if they were not centered around my gender. I prefer to be evaluated as an individual, not a woman.
