What it indicates is that women think their
efforts are worth more than mens.
Aeons ago, when I was a university Physics student ...
I worked a lot harder than some of my colleagues, but achieved lower grades.
That’s because they were smarter than me.
Duh.
“indicates that women’s higher perceived effort levels are not rewarded.”
And how do you define “perceived effort levels?” Just because you put more time into it doesn’t mean the product is better than one who has a higher natural ability.
This same thing happened to me in electromagnetics and semiconductor device theory ... I had to work twice as hard as a few others in the class since they were naturally good at that stuff and I wasn’t.
However, in higher level digital design and embedded system classes, I kicked ass while not working as hard while those same people that aced emag and semiconductors struggled.
I guess we were all women and didn’t know it.
Ironically, my first paid job as an engineer was integrated circuit design/layout ... a lot of that semiconductor stuff came in handy of course :-) .
I wonder if the laws of physics, and the principles of engineering that derive from them, will pay any attention.
Orwellian speak this b.
In my field, the real differences between male and female engineers doesn't show up in engineering school, but in the licensing exams. There are plenty of good civil engineers who happen to be women. But I have come across far too many cases where women are pushed into an engineering curriculum as part of a "diversity" initiative ... only to find themselves in a position 5-10 years later where they are unable to pass the licensing exams.
I'm sure that the female engineers who designed the collapsed bridge in Florida worked hard too.
The families of those who were killed by their incompetence will be relieved to know "They tried really, really hard" to get it right.
I shudder to think of what the world will look like in a generation. The laws of Physics are not, and will never be, politically correct.
This civilization is headed for a deep, dark age.
“perceived effort”
perhaps the key words here are “perceived” ?
“”perceived” is not the same as ‘real’
It is “”perceived” by libtards that ‘diversity’ delivers equivalent merit to actual effective merit.
Just because you think you are better and worked upto your limitations does NOT make you BETTER than those with actual higher abilities.
Just more affirmative action trash that made being black a leftist endorsement for obama being president-worthy.
They need to wear a one size smaller lab jacket.
Remember the old Sci-Fi flics from the 50’s? There was always a babe in a lab jacket.
Effort = grade is like Marx’s erroneous labor = value. It ain’t so.
Then, you add in that we’re talking about feelz as the measure of effort and the whole issue is bogus.
It’s all about feelings and effort, not outcomes.
Thinking they should get rewarded for effort proves they shouldn’t be in STEM in the first place.
I think I tried that line on my fifth grade teacher and was completely rebuked and nearly scolded. Learned my lesson early.
Why is it that the best male chess players are much better than the best female players?
As a competitive cyclist, I am familiar with the concept of “perceived effort.” I can tell you that my perception of the last 10k of a 40k time trial is that I’m laying down the same wattage I was in the beginning. But a quick glance at the power meter shows it’s 25 to 50 percent less.
Perceived effort is worthless as a measure of ACTUAL effort.
Your heart doctor has got a “perceived effort” diploma from the School of Perceived Efforts. Are you ready for your open heart surgery now?
If one works harder but accomplishes less, there’s only one reasonable conclusion. That is that there are women accepted into the programs that have less qualifications, aptitudes and/or sincere interest in the topics at hand.
