BYU Men in STEM Voice Opinions on Women in STEM

For a person studying a science in college, it can get exhausting hearing about all the attention placed on women. We interviewed men in the computer science, math, and engineering departments to see how BYU really feels about the influx of women into the STEM fields. Here are ten of the most impactful quotes.

Dallyn Steighvensyn: “I respect women in STEM completely. However, they always get really annoyed when I ask them to make me a sandwich.”

Leyeken Smythe: “We need more women in STEM so I have girls to ask out in my math classes. I’ve already exhausted the four aggregate women in my class schedule.”

Braydee Macheaux: “Women in STEM are fine, as long as they’re not taking spaces away from deserving MEN.”

Brussly: “There’s one in my 500-person engineering class. I think.”

Mr. Ogyny: “I actually think we need less women in STEM. At the start of the semester, I received quite a shock when I thought I walked into the wrong classroom – a WOMAN was teaching CS 235. I think they ran out of other faculty to teach the class. It was terrifying.”

Heireigh Pahter: “I was distracted in my ME EN 345 class the other day because the professor didn’t have the decency to throw out the girl in my class who wore a tank top that day. Doesn’t she know that the purity of men is the job of women?”

Andy Feminisz: “If we let women take too many engineering classes, they’re going to want to be engineers too.”

River Rivet: “It’s unfair to let women who are going to be stay-at-home moms take spots away from men who are going to get real jobs.”

Justin Bee-Burr: “Because women don’t hold the priesthood, they aren’t able to fully understand the difficult concepts of a stem degree.”

Dweighne deRawk Jaunson: “Women are simply too emotional to understand and apply the logic and reasoning necessary for a computer science degree.”
