Same OP as the last one here, btw, just so the haters can get their rage-shits out on the right person for a change

How men stole a stem field from women

http://gender.stanford.edu/news/2011/researcher-reveals-how-%E2%80%9Ccomputer-geeks%E2%80%9D-replaced-%E2%80%9Ccomputergirls%E2%80%9D#.dpuf

On phone so can't read link but I am... Extremely skeptical about the narrative you are placing in that, from everything that im aware of

Boring. Though, funny visuals. Of men going out with little burglar outfits to steal stems from a field as some women nap.

Jeez, is F!S going through another period of having gender wank every day?

I don't think either of the last two threads were exceptionally wacky. People want to talk about gender.

It's one anon, pretty obvious troll.

I'm not going to stop learning it because it really does matter to me, but I sure wish Hebrew wasn't gendered.

Gendered how? Like the Romance languages?

Yeah, similar to that.

Aw that's lame. I find that structure really off-putting too. I mean I'm sure it's fine when you've grown up with it but to me it just seems so random and dopey.

Lol yes I am using my dude!computer and my lady!radio. That's very important.

Plus, you know, studies confirming that yes this shit does make gender stereotypes more pronounced and yes, people actually do start associating gendered objects with the masculine or feminine qualities based on their grammatical gender... and societies where the object has a different gender associate them with the opposite.

But I've had native French speakers all but assault me with their baguettes for suggesting that this shit is nonsense (even though I freely admit that English is full of nonsense, too) so yeah I'll just twiddle my thumbs on this one.

nayrt

I think it's interesting to compare the way objects are gendered in different languages.

So Language A thinks your shoes female, but Language B thinks your shoes are male? Why is that? What is it about Language A speakers that makes them perceive shoes as feminine? What is it about Language B speakers that makes them perceive shoes as masculine? What's the etymology behind it all?!

I think it's interesting in a way, too, if only because it unwittingly reveals how bullshit-tacular gendering objects is. Especially if speakers on both sides are convinced that it is "obvious" how "inherently" masculine/feminine said objects are.

Yana, like wholly contradictory gender stereotypes between different cultures. No but for real though it's all just hard-wired genetics.
