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.

    Nah you’re still being disingenuous. The stats don’t lie - even the stats you provided 😂.

    I would have thought you’d be happy to see stem taken over by women. Though if you were actually interested in equality you’d also be worried about why men aren’t applying. That’s a real problem - for women too.

      I mean you provided those last stats I just gave. That’s literally taken from your link.

      I think you’re conflating how I feel to facts. Fact is the 38.6% figure I quoted from your article. How I feel about it or the price of gasoline is notwithstanding.
