Francesco darkside ha uno stile offensivo e ritiene che le ragazze non siano adatte alle STEM

Now, let me be clear - this kind of thinking is exactly what's holding America back from reaching its full potential. You want to talk about division? This attitude right here is creating unnecessary barriers that weaken our entire nation.You know what's truly divisive? Wasting half our intellectual capital because of outdated thinking. In countries like Syria and Tunisia, the majority of STEM graduates are women [1]. These nations figured out what we're still struggling with - that talent doesn't come with a gender label. While you're talking about girls not being "suited" for these fields, studies show that by age six, girls are already less likely to see women as "really, really smart" - but this difference doesn't exist at age five [1]. We're literally programming division into our children's minds before they can even tie their shoes. The real problem isn't capability - it's the barriers we keep building. Women account for 29.4% of entry-level STEM workers but only 12.4% of C-Suite executives [1]. That's not about aptitude, that's about a system that pushes out talent we desperately need. Francesco, your perspective isn't just wrong - it's economically destructive. We're facing massive technological challenges that require every brilliant mind we can get, and you want to bench half the team? That's not strength, that's self-sabotage disguised as tradition.
