What's that joke that goes "It was terrible. Hordes of rampaging communists everywhere, leaving a trail of schools and hospitals in their wake."

"half of the scientists" Almost as if there are 50% female people on earth.

it really says something that the western world is so much less -- the united states in particular only had 28% of its women in stem as recently as 2011

They seem to fail to understand, the coersion is the only bad part. That's like saying "things don't change, some black people chose to work on farms, the coersion has gone but it's still a problem". No it's not a problem, anyone should be allowed to choose to be a farmer.

Had fucking dream went greet my new neighbors but one of the old neighbors was telling them not to talk to me because I was a communist because I had supported Bernie Sanders. And we got into a yelling fight because when I said rather be a communist then a pedophile supporter he got really pissed off.

Anyway still agree we need more scientists no matter the gender unfortunately most are leaving the US for somewhere better.

It's very easy to tell when someone's only impression of the soviet union just comes from movies and shows because this is up there with "In North Korea everyone has to push the trains by hand".

And these books say that Joseph Stalin "had a habit of literally and repeatedly exterminating the entire class of people that included scientists"? What class is that, exactly?

Imagine unironically thinking that coercing people into a career they don't want is a good thing.

Imagine unironically thinking that women would rather stay at home, clean, cook and raise the kids instead of wanting to pursue a career in STEM is a good thing.

The coercion may be gone, but the legacy remains.

They think, women in "men" jobs are merely a communist legacy, instead of it not being a entirely backwards society.

You mean like coercing millions of kids to go to college and obtain useless degrees they will be paying for for the rest of their lives?

That happens in USA. I can't understand are Americans so ignorant or what, just pack bag and apply for uni in Eu? I have my bachelor paid full price ,4 years and it costed me not even 2000 eur. Now I know that law degree costs 1600eur a year. Med school more or less same. So if smart Americans can take loans for 50/100 k for studies ,why not to get a loan for 10k ,pay 4 years and rest covers living expenses in Eu ? Stop crying and use neurons God gave you,guys.

I just got my bill for a school (college) year in Slovenia. It's literally just an expensive library bill and an administrative fee (35€).

Edit: It's still a capitalist borderline-genocidal dystopia, but we can at least afford shit to have a normal life. "Liberalism" is still better than actual concentration camps.

Are you suggesting women somehow have less inclination to become scientists than men? Please do provide sources for this fantastical claim.
