We know that women students and staff remain underrepresented in Higher Education STEM disciplines. Even in subjects where equivalent numbers of men and women participate, however, many women are still disadvantaged by everyday sexism. Our recent research found that women who study STEM subjects at undergraduate level in England were up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism. The main perpetrators of this sexism were not university staff, however, but were men STEM degree students.

    The least you could do is read the research links provided in both the articles and the references provided before pretending like I didn’t provide direct referential material to every point I made.

      Got really quiet after I pointed out your own lack of reading comprehension to you… So where is your solution to the discrimination you believe is occurring, or are you somehow okay with it?

      We have already agreed on your conclusion that women face disproportionate bigotry, as sexism, in STEM fields. Now I want to know what your solution is.

      I have already engaged with your articles more than you have, as I already explicitly pointed out the irrelevance of one of them. You would have known this if you had read my entire comment instead of skipping to the bold section. What do you call people who don’t read the entire comment again? Incompetent or dishonest assholes, I believe…
