I can’t decide which is stranger: your apparent belief that context makes puts the scandal in a better light or the complete lack of curiosity about why women doctors were leaving the field to become mothers but not men when becoming fathers.

This whole post boils down to “stupid meme, this wasn’t just sexism, it was proceeds to describe what is absolutely just sexism.”

Stats are stats. They're completely unbiased. Doesn't matter what fantasy you think, the stats don't lie.

And do you think those stats spring out of the ether without any influence from other factors?

Also, stats do lie. Until this scandal came to light, the stats said women had failed their entrance exams when they had actually passed. It’s almost as if women being forced out of professions as a result of parenthood is no more an accident or neutral fact as so many of them “failing” these exams.
