RE: Women in Science: Fact on Women's Participation on STEM
From October 22 to October 29 (see SteemSTEM Distilled 7), steemstem has curated 73 different authors who have written a total of 117 different articles. However, I have trouble identifying women Steemit users there. But clearly, the men still dominate SteemStem. I expect an increase in the participation of Steemit women users in SteemStem. Hopefully SteemStem can give priority curation to them.
It is not a matter of men domination. We actually do not care about the male/female character of the various authors of the articles we upvote. Moreover, we are on the internet: how could be be sure about the gender of the author? There is no way we can know for sure.
This being said, I would like to reinsure you: we vote for the articles that we find and that are good. That's it. Nothing less, nothing more. If the author is a man, fair enough. if the author is a woman, fair enough too.
I am totally against introducing diversity criteria in the way we curate. There is no reason for that. We are not hiring people. We are curating good blog posts on STEM and trying to motivate people (women and men) to write good posts on STEM.
If you really want to fight for gender equality, please visit toy department of any supermarket. This already says a lot... SteemSTEM is totally not where you should start acting.
To summarize, as said above, we focus on good posts. Writing a good post is something both a man or a woman can do equally well.
PS: 50% of the steemstem curation team consists of women and 20% of the steemstem management team consists of women.
PS2: I was about to answer about the women in science question, but this allusion to steemstem which I can't understand made me change my mind...
I am not insinuating steemstem. This is more to my personal expectations. I just want to know how women can participate in steemstem.
Here all got a chance. Good writing is worth curating, both male and female. My assumption, there may be some Steemian women who do not know about steemstem yet.
Male dominance does happen here. But this is not a conclusion to discredit steemstem. I hope you did not misunderstand it.
There is not male dominance. How can it be as we do not know the gender of the authors? This makes no sense.
Okay. I'm not debating here. Steemstem has done a great job here. I include "Women in Steemstem", just to know the women who participated here. I can not recognize them from the account name. I know you too. I also know how steemstem works.
Well, you are actually debating as you have attacked steemstem from the start, on the basis of false grounds... If you don't know, you don't say a word and stay calm...
In this case, you actually don't know...
So, do you think I should remove the "part"? I will do it.
