You claimed you spoke to teachers and found something that doesn't correspond to my assertion to be true. I pointed out that it may be true, but it doesn't correspond to my assertion. If you are now asserting that teachers, in addition to wanting more men in the industry, also think that the lack of men is a problem with their industry, then it's up to you to prove your assertion. And not with 'if you talked to any random teacher'. >>> That line of thinking inevitably leads to saying men's brains are "wired" to "think a certain way", which has been proven false each time it's brought up. >> Male and female brains have massive differences in the amount of gray and white matter for one thing [1], connectivity [2], and size [3]. > Your first link doesn't show that women are less likely to be programmers. That's correct. All the links are direct responses to your assertion that "men's brains are "wired" to "think a certain way" has been proven false each time it's brought up." I have provided cited three papers to disprove a claim that I've quoted and you've responded by saying it doesn't disprove something else.

Actually, no. You made the first assertion that teachers don't have a problem with the lack of men. I'm countering with the opposite. There is no assumed default in this case, so it's up to either of us to prove our argument. Here is my proof: http://www.menteach.org/ There are outreach programs to get more men into teaching, which means teachers do think it's a problem.

I can only assume the name-calling is due to your frustration with being proved wrong. You should spend some time learning how to better handle yourself.
