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.

Name 5 societies in all of history, that are as diverse as the western world today and have the levels of opportunity for minorities

Name five societies in all of history, circa the time of ancient Rome or before, that had the same level of opportunity for minorities as ancient Rome.
