Peer Review

Hello, I really enjoyed reading your topic about women in STEM. I feel that there is definitely a gender double-standard in for individuals with interests in the STEM fields. Like you mentioned in your post, girls do not often have women role models who have careers in the STEM field, thus, they may not be as motivated to have a career goal in that field. Furthermore, if they are only given perceptions that only men have careers in that field, they may feel discouraged to continue to pursue their education in that field, solely based on their gender.

I would suggest talking about the double-standard that occurs in our society where women are perceived as the housewives and men are seen as the breadmaker. Things have definitely changed and we see more women in the workplace, however, there is still much more that needs to be done. Women may still be seen as a "broken woman" if they continue to work on their career, rather than creating a family. This shows how men are perceived more dominate and superior than women.

Your topic signifies the intersectionality that is upon women. From the gender stereotypes, women are not taken as seriously compared to men. As a result, women may not be treated equally compared to men, despite being in the same career position. (Maybe you could talk a bit about wages if there is a difference in pay, just because of gender?)

Hope you read your wiki page when it is complete! :)
