@RhiannonDauster @PsychRabble @PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall Yes, likely: https://t.co/7NtcmUn0IM. And higher representation to lower on a continuum from softer to harder sciences is exactly what would be predicted on a “innate differences in preference” hypothesis.

I’ve noticed you haven’t answered a single question - why is that?

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@RhiannonDauster @PsychRabble @PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall I’m assuming all of these papers are the same and that none of them address my concern of causality?

How did women break into previously male-dominated professions like medicine, biology and law which, at one point, would’ve been stereotyped as male, but can’t with physics etc?

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@RhiannonDauster @PsychRabble @PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall Causality problem yet again. You think stereo > lack of identity > lack of interest, but it can also be lack of interest > lack of identity > stereo.

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@RhiannonDauster @PsychRabble @PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall “Sharing from respected...scientists” - appeal to authority.

“Obvious to women...discount testimonies” - anecdotal.

It’s possible (even plausible) for respected experts to be wrong, esp. in morally charged subjects, & I doubt you’d accept anecdotes in other subject areas.

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@RhiannonDauster @PsychRabble @PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall What’re you basing it on? Can’t be stereotype threat...Other external factors like lack of female role models also don’t seem to have an effect (https://t.co/ZNd2yUdixW), & authors suggest other avenues for increasing women in STEM instead...like stereo threat, which doesn’t work

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@PsychRabble @PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall @RhiannonDauster Perfect, cheers Lee!

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall @RhiannonDauster So do I. I think we’ve done it. You’re still viewing ST as cause rather than effect. LP is mainly an issue of having & raising kids (https://t.co/grIifN2cRP | https://t.co/EBvxqxDkd8). Other overviews: https://t.co/cOgRgHr6aA | https://t.co/jtlrVLMdGR | https://t.co/wCpVP2CR97

New research finds that academia tenure-track gender gaps largely explained by motherhood.

@PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall @RhiannonDauster It’s about as well substantiated as unconscious bias effects, which is to say not really at all. See @PsychRabble for some of the best overviews on both.

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall @RhiannonDauster Perform the same on average. But with greater male variability, both the low and high-end are male dominated. Further, men’s & women’s perf. on IQ components related to maths/physics etc differ. As @LT3000Lyall noted, why isn’t this a problem for psych/medicine/etc?

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall @RhiannonDauster Did they come first? How do you know? Seems that disentangling the cause of stereos from the effects, especially historically, is virtually impossible. The most we can say on this account is “we don’t know”. Also evidence of direct stereo effects is weak (e.g. stereo threat)

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@PhysLynch @LT3000Lyall @RhiannonDauster Or: In counties in which men and women are free to choose, men and women choose different careers and thereby propagate different ideas of what men and women on average want or are good at (stereotypes).

@TomChivers Thanks a lot for the reply, Tom. Really appreciate it!

@FSurmonBohr @BeckyBeckymilne @LCritical @ChristiansenLiv Congrats, Frankie!

[Jay Joseph Duckworth @JayDuckworth]

@TomChivers Excellent piece. The most balanced and fair take on this I’ve seen by far.

Academic colleagues, @LivUni are targeting 47 colleagues with redundancy, after an abrupt, non-consultative and opaque review which uses weaponised grant income and citation metrics. Please sign and share this open letter to protest

@MerPolWirral @MerseysidePCC @MsOHara71 @TeamHugeMedia @asda @stophateuk @mrisyed “Being offensive is an offence”. Really @MerPolWirral? What now that people have found your own post offensive? Where’s the internal investigation? Fucking idiots.
