[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It works. Half of the girls in my engineering class dropped after the first semester. Doesn’t really help them as a group since they took the spots of boys that would have stayed in those degrees. Creates resentment among the remaining engineering class members.[/quote] Was it just women that dropped out? I am an engineer and by second semester of 2nd year a lot of would be engineers dropped out. Not just women. BTW I am a female who wasn't and engineering major...at first. I just started taking some of the classes. So I dropped in.[/quote] Yep.PP is probably just flexing confirmation bias in which he only paid attention to the girls who dropped in addition, females may leave in slightly higher rates, but not because they're gaming the system or unqualified. Even in college courses, the atmosphere can be toxic for women in these fields.[/quote]
