Question: Do you think men make better scientists than women?

No.
I think a lot of men have the advantage that they got to go to schools where there’s more science availability or that they got to study engineering or tech drawing at school (neither of these were an option at the girls school I went to). This doesn’t mean they’re innately better at science though.
I think men and women make equally good (and equally bad) scientists and engineers, but that society needs to be reminded of that from time to time.
