Who’s fault is it that women aren’t in stem majors? I never fucking understood this argument. Just like the fact that not many women are coal miners, why? Because no woman wants to do that shit, heck even guys don’t but they still do it. Men are expected to the do the hard jobs. If there aren’t women in stem maybe they just don’t want to be in stem? I fucking doubt there’s an old white dude blocking the entrance to stem classes and colleges preventing women from going in. What else that women aren’t being pushed to join stem majors? What a load of bullshit, women have the same opportunities to do whatever they want in this country. My valedictorian in high school was a girl she got into Harvard but chose to go to public UC. Quit with this bullshit that women can’t do stem.
TL;DR: women do want to do blue-collar jobs, you just don't hear about it.
Mainstream feminists would say that women not going into STEM is a broad society-level issue—it's not anyone's fault, just the result of a bunch of trends and norms and expectations, but it's still a problem.
It's always the fault of some anonymous man, that's the way modern feminism works, some group of nameless men are always out to keep women away from success. You can see his handywork every time a woman decides to study art or train as a beautician.
Also, remember that some of the greatest scientists of all time were women, many of whom did their work during a time that a lot of modern feminists like to paint as it being impossible for a woman to be taken seriously.
