girls , why don't you do science degrees (maths,compsci,engineering,physi cs)?

The way you phrased it made it sound as if your non maths course contains more maths than an actual maths course.

And I explained afterwards to another poster that what I meant was that on my course we have like 6 hours of maths every week to 3 of biology. Hence the 2x amount of maths 'verses any other science' on my course.

i know there are exceptions, i am not talking about every single girl in the world. but the degrees i mentioned have very few girls in the compared to boys. so i want to hear from the girls (the vast majority) who didn't choose to pursue them , why did you avoid them?

That doesn't say anything about the level of maths/physics in your degree since you are comparing them to very girly courses. Maths/physics students have an average IQ of 130+. The average ones! Do you realize how insane that is when only something like 2% of the population is at that level?

It's no wonder so few girls go for these degrees since we know there are very few high IQ women compared to men.

If you're standing around waiting for a female Einstein or Perelman take a seat, cause it's gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong wait.

There are some very good female mathematicians. Just a minority is all.
