Fuck you.

There aren't that many practicing astronomers, but there are tons of social workers. As such you'll end up with a "regression to the mean" phenomena.

It's the quantity of science writing (both in terms of # of articles and article length) that's more important here. The quality could be better as well (you know things are bad when the writer of a scientific article on Jezebel begins her article with "[I'm not] well-versed in the sciences at all"). Little things…

It's simple:

The fact that a feminist-in-theory blog blogs about stereotypically feminine topics tells me all I need to know about feminism-in-practice.

So you are both privilege-shaming and stupid-shaming me in one sentence? Good job.

I did not post just an infographic. It should have been clear from the context I provided that the jocular and implicitly dismissive attitude towards science found on Jezebel (and among many women generally) might very well be a major cause of the situation presented in the infographic. I am not responsible for…

The point is that, for whatever reason, women are staying away from high-IQ STEM fields like vampires from garlic. And articles like these aren't helping.

You make joke!

Yes, there is a negative correlation between the average IQ of students in a field and the percentage of females in that field. Correlation does not imply causation (there are roughly the same number of men and women in the 100-110 IQ range, but >90% female fields in that range). For more information click here.

Thank you.

However, your cute little infographic wasn't about Jezebel, was it?

No problem. I just need a paycheck first :)

Oh hello Mr. Turdington!

I'm going to avoid the temptation to drag this conversation down to name-calling level so let me just be open about my concern:

Sad.

Rest assured, Kanye won't rest until he can get a diamond star for Kim.

Maybe Google Glass will flop, but the concept itself will not.

You'll get the point soon enough.

Ah.
