No one (I've seen here) is saying there isn't an existing problem with the participation of girls in STEM. No one is seriously advocating we eliminate girl-targeted STEM activities. We disagree about the best way to make things fair and equitable (which consequently are charged words that are ambiguous in their interpretation)

Lastly, I'll leave this here
