    Case in point, men and women are almost 50/50 in STEM careers around Eastern Europe due to the USSRs policies pushing more women into these careers.

    People don’t realise that these norms they hold as dogma are so short-lived and subject to change that opposition only shows them unable to comprehend history past their lived experience.

    It’s ashame they have to drag us down with them.

          around eastern europe -> contries in eastern europe that dont support this claim dont count obviously

          due to ussr -> ussr not mentioned in citation

          Anyway, this is a way too broad statistic that clumps together tons of fields which are actually pretty split. Basically statistics gerrymandering.

      I’ve seen some people talk about that as the harmful legacy of the USSR.

      Mind you as a female engineer I agree with the communists about women.
