Where is the productivity gain in pushing a young girl away from STEM?
If exceptional people really have something to offer in areas where they are shunned for other reasons...
Many exceptional people won't even discover their talent if they are actively dissuaded from pursuing the education and career they have the aptitude for, all in the name of "reinforcing gender archetypes".
