Closing the gender gap in physics will take hundreds of years, given the current rate of progress.

That's the finding of research analysing the names of authors listed on millions of scientific papers.

Physics, computer science, maths and chemistry had the fewest women, while nursing and midwifery had the most.

Without further interventions, the gender gap is likely to persist for generations, said scientists from the University of Melbourne.

I think we can speed it up if we dumb it down, install racial and gender quotas, infuse some intersectional doctrine into the science, and most of all move away from pesky facts and data to a more subjective, emotional approach that emphasizes personal perspectives and experiences with outcome based objectives.

Because then there'd be a boatload of men shuttled into underemployment.

I guarantee it will never happen. The world civilization would collapse first.
