What people are saying
Many discussions highlight criticisms of the original study by Stoet and Geary, with users mentioning issues like methodological flaws and the incorrect use of indices to measure gender equality. Phrases such as 'data manipulation' and 'debunked' express skepticism about the study’s conclusions, while references to further publications reinforce the discourse, indicating that the choice of words and critical tone contribute to an overall challenging stance towards the original findings.
The discussions show a mix of skepticism and criticism regarding the original study, indicating a general disagreement with its findings.
There is a strong interest in the topic, as many posts reference various perspectives and critiques related to the gender-equality paradox.
Comments reflect some depth, as participants discuss methodologies and findings, though not all engage in a detailed manner.
While some see value in the article's critique of the original study, many perceive its impact as limited regarding broader societal change.
Abstract in brief
- The commentary discusses the concept of a gender-equality paradox in STEM fields, where countries with higher gender equality have fewer women pursuing STEM careers.
- It references the study by Stoet and Geary (2018) that highlights this paradox and explores possible reasons behind it.
- The implications of this paradox are examined, suggesting that societal expectations and academic environments may influence women's choices in STEM education and careers.

Most liked on X and BlueskyThis supposed 'debunking' of the 'gender equality paradox' (fewer women choose to study STEM in more gender-egalitarian countries) is not convincing https://t.co/w1w6vNEHdG
The journal has now published a corrigendum, as well as a piece by the Harvard scholars explaining why the study's conclusions are likely spurious. https://t.co/HzxV1feD7Y https://t.co/VG1YLqtWFH

@vxel Tutaj polemika z badaniem Stoet i Geary (2018), że korelacja między patriarchalnymi społ. i udziałem kobiet w STEM wynikać może z użycia GGGI jako błędnego miernika nierówności. Jeśli zastąpić go BIGI – wówczas zależność znika. https://t.co/MweZDaekpE https://t.co/D4UemdzJU0

@ZeitgeistCritic @GrueneCH Wenn andere Authoren den von Stoet und Geary benutzten index gegen den tatsächlichen anteil von Frauen in STEM korrelierten verschwand das paradox.

@campeters4 @rasmansa There's a good breakdown of why nobody could replicate the "gender paradox" findings here: https://t.co/mRvoc967YI and there's an interesting discussion on the issue of differing gender norms between countries here: https://t.co/C3UmLgqiqr
@kevinburch @ItsGoneAwry @Harrys_Garage @Judith_Char I’m aware of the original study on this paradox, *and* aware that a) its measures of women’s participation in STEM and of gender equality have been criticised, and that b) other examinations find no such paradox. See e.g. this critique and re-analysis: https://t.co/11L8cGOw6V
