Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism (www.hepi.ac.uk)

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.

We have already agreed on your conclusion that women face disproportionate bigotry, as sexism, in STEM fields. Now I want to know what your solution is.

I have already engaged with your articles more than you have, as I already explicitly pointed out the irrelevance of one of them. You would have known this if you had read my entire comment instead of skipping to the bold section. What do you call people who don't read the entire comment again? Incompetent or dishonest assholes, I believe...
