    Victoria Pasquantonio in “Gender Gap in Math Starts in Kindergarten, Study Says” uses different sources to address the gender gap in the STEM fields. Said sources altogether conclude that women do not pursue STEM because their teachers underrated their abilities at STEM throughout school, and that the teachers underrated women because they lived in a culture that says that STEM is not meant for women. Although Pasquantonio’s article effectively reveals a bias against women in STEM, I feel that her article fails to connect this bias to why women choose to not pursue STEM. Likewise, Pasquantonio does not explain why or how teachers’ bias against women caused a gender gap in STEM.…
