No mention of Russia's history of Communism, which encouraged gender equality. Russian women used to be mocked in western media as unfeminine tractor drivers.
Also, the high number of Russian casualties in WWII required everybody to participate in the rebuilding.

I thought the same thing, not specifically about communism, but that during and after WWII the load was born equally.

Because just about all the feminists over here are doing these days are herding women into useless degrees such as gender studies, sociology, and liberal art, and then somehow claim that this is empowering. When all they're doing is creating more hardline feminism ideologues and little else.

Or, they are creating an army with no choice but to join the revolution.

Citation?

Numbers, is that you?

I can unequivocally state that there are women going into technical fields. My daughter, for instance, is a software engineer. I personally know a large number of women who have gone into engineering and other technical fields. Your statements are utter bullshit, in other words. Alternative facts, as it were.

Nowhere in my comment implied that NO women are going into technical fields. Reading comprehension is important. I'm only stating that a major problem with the 3rd wave feminism in America is that often time instead of actually encouraging young women to take more interests in STEM related subjects, all the rhetorics ended up compelling them into getting mostly worthless "feel-good" degrees instead. I too know plenty of women in the STEM field from my work, and the majority of them have negative opinions of what the current 3rd wave feminism is doing to young women's worldview.

maybe cause russia is poorer, so theres a economical incentive? people who are better off can choose more with the heart, and tend to choose stereotypically.

"An interesting finding to emerge from some of the research is that in developing countries women are more likely than their Western counterparts to choose jobs in the typically male field of technology because these jobs are better paid and offer better career opportunities. In the highly developed democratic countries, however, women are freer to choose what they typically prefer: work involving face to face dealings with people."
