Yeah that really does need scare quotes.
More like indoctrinated. I'd love to see how many of those that were "educated" were in STEM.
Or women who actually went into STEM after graduating, as opposed to just using it as a piece of paper to open doors.
It's something I've noted a time or two; a women who gets an engineering degree and then instantly uses it to pivot into a managerial role, as opposed to actually making shit. Makes me wonder.
Considering how often this happens for both women and men, I barely consider engineering to be STEM anymore. If it's the degree of choice to essentially game the system, it can't be that much of a hurdle anymore. It's definitely not a social "science" or anything like that, but it's not in the same category as things like the Sciences, Technology and Mathematics that make up the rest of STEM.
Things vs. people orientation?
But obviously, you can't then turn around and blame 'patriarchy' if you then earn less. If you work fewer hours, I think that's a very good choice (because we work to live and do not live to work), but it makes sense that you earn less than people who work longer hours.
