Your question is based on anecdotal evidence. You should instead ask why so few women and girls in your life are inquisitive about their world?

In my personal experience, women are just as inquisitive as men, if not more, as evidenced by the fact that more girls than guys went on to study science after high school. But I wouldn't claim my experience is universally true.

I won't deny that this is based on anecdotal evidence. But I'm not making any claims. I'm simply observing the world as I've seen it, like any scientist would notice a curious pattern and wonder.

I'm frankly amazed how doing so seems to engender a high level of animosity from the community. Ironic.
