MODERATORS
I always take posts like this with a big grain of salt. Yes, women were oppressed and in many places still are, but posts like these tend to stretch and exaggerate the truth because they WANT to find oppression of women. They WANT the fight, and they want the fight to still be here and burning brightly today to justify actions many would find questionable at best.
EDIT: Fun fact for you, in the USA in 1970 8% of stem workers were female. Today, its 27%.
Okay, how was the truth stretched here?
It should be 50%.
Why should it be 50%?
For the same reason 50% of mechanics should be women.
Equality.
That's not equality. Equality is that you have the same rights, possibilities, opportunities etc. Not that the outcome is the same.
Equality of outcome is bullshit. Everyone should be free to choose what they want to do in life.
