ABSTRACT

The question of gender often raises its head in many discussions, it’s no surprise that this question is very prevalent in the field of STEM. Daniel Shorten explores how this question has shaped simple beliefs in the society from the old saying of boys are better in math than girls, which has proven to be false. He also provides examples of bias within the workplace and even in regular life where machines or drugs were not designed for women but expected to perform their functions accurately. He is making the call for the embrace of genderless demand in STEM and for the differences between the sexes to be recognized and acknowledged.
