In 1879, French polymath Gustave Le Bon wrote that

In 1879, French polymath Gustave Le Bon wrote that even in "the most intelligent races" there "are a large number of women whose brains are closer in size to those of gorillas than to the most developed male brains". He continued his insult with: "This inferiority is so obvious that no one can contest it for a moment; only its degree is worth discussion."
🧠
Today we have moved on, right? But whenever we attempt to explain the under-representation of women in science, debunked myths seem to sneak back into the debate in different guises—no matter how often they are challenged.
🧠
In the 20th century, explanations focused more on female deficits in specific skill sets allegedly required for science—such as spatial cognition. Testosterone-fuelled male brains were seen to be hard-wired for the pursuit of science. The message was clear: women don't do science because they can't.

Alicia Soh arrived in Stockholm on Jan 17 to start

Alicia Soh arrived in Stockholm on Jan 17 to start work as a software developer, just as Covid-19 began to wreak havoc throughout the world.
⬇
After spending six months in a country she had never visited previously, she would like to share her experience as well as her three-year journey as somewhat of a rarity in the technology industry — being a woman.
⬇
“I was first struck by the male dominance of the sector when I enrolled for a four-year computing course at the National University of Singapore in 2013, and found myself surrounded by men.”
⬇
“They outnumbered women by four or five times in most classes. In some class projects, I was the only female member of the group. I had the same experience during my internships.”
⬇
“To me, technology is like art and I love using my creativity to develop new ideas, software and tools to improve lives.”
💭
With the show of 🤚 emojis, how many of you faced the same thing Alicia faced❓How did you cope with the fact men outnumbered women in the classrooms❓
