There's no point in arguing with your bf on this or showing him statistics to prove him wrong since he already had it in his mind this belief of his.
The ratio of women in certain industries are indeed lower than men but it is mostly due to the fact that women do not get the same opportunity. There are still glass ceilings present as we speak where women are just unfairly passed over for higher roles in place of their male colleagues. Sure, we can argue that person A is more suitable for this role than person B, and it has nothing to do with gender. But does it mean person A is smarter? No, it just means person A is more suitable, that's all.
To outright say that men in general are smarter than women is extremely condescending and rude. While STEM is a male-dominated profession, it doesn't mean that one gender is smarter over the other, it just means what it is, that it is a male-dominated profession, that's all.
He has a friendship with the woman, but that doesn’t mean he has feelings for her. Nothing he’s done suggests anything more than that. I really doubt people would be accusing a woman of being romantically interested in a male coworker just because she played Rock Paper Scissors with him.
Yes and I laughed at that too
That would be reasonable if the home was 60k.
