Why are women not going into S.T.E.M fields as much as men.

We always here that women only make 75% of what men make, but they only work about 50%
of the jobs that men do. Not only STEM, but also no women are working in sewers, oil rigs, etc.
these are high paying jobs. Also women are less likely to move for a job, and they are less
likely to work outside. Why do women not want to be equal to men?

During my divorce I fired as many attorneys as I hired. My first was a woman lawyer that I thought would work well for me. Pfft.

On her Facebook page she was celebrating the month of the woman and women's accomplishments, which are a joke. Women only sleep well because they are protected by men, in houses built by men, with electricity provided by men, and water provided by men, and drive to shopping malls in cars built by men, fuelled by gasoline refined by men from oil drilled for by men. Remove men from earth and women would rejoice until seconds later when the lights went out, and they'd mostly be dead in a week.

@IronHamster Iron, I am glad you are Iron, you need to be! I was one of those second shift women. Work all day, work all night. Husband gambled so I actually paid for all the stuff you listed. One time he told me that I really couldn’t buy two fifty dollar outfits in a month, and I said we spent a thousand a month on his golf, drinking and gambling! I made sure I spent $100 every month after that. 😊😊😊 I think this stuff is why they say life is hell! I did too much, and you did too.

@MarthannBann888 I hope you are finding your happiness. Life is too short for shitty relationships, and I am glad I have a few good years left to be free of that.

@IronHamster Thank you so much for your kind words! Life is good. Lost significant other at Thanksgiving and was really sick in December, but have been on the mend. I have to learn to balance life as fairly as possible. 😊
