The social science majors at r/gatekeeping rage against STEMcels

!ifrickinglovescience !engineering !math

The "gatekeeping" sub is a goldmine reeing against STEMcels

I always saw this as making fun of the ridiculous one-upping and gatekeeping among the sciences.

Yeah. But I think claiming that math is the 'most pure' and above gatekeeping is probably just an even more obnoxious form of gatekeeping.

What I'm getting from this comic is that sociologists are the only ones among them with any maturity at all. They just ignore the insults and walk away, apparently.

The sociologists are just watching and writing a paper about insecurity and competitiveness among the branches of science

In my experience, that is generally the case.

First Year Engineering Student: UR NOT A REEL SCIENCETISM! I'M TAKING PHYSICS I SO I AM LE REEL SCIENTIFICS!

Sociology Grad: K. goes back to working on their research

And that engineering major drops out following year

Or just maintains a bare C- average, but still acts like he's the god of all things STEM.

In my experience, the more "STEM > ALL" an engineering student is, the lower their GPA.

THE GATEKEEPING IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

I'm starting Physics soon, and the STEM circlejerk makes me wish I had taken Philosophy.

I DON'T WANT TO BE BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE IT'S STRESSFUL ENOUGH BEING OK

History? Theater? Education? That motherlover doesn't know the challenges of any of those fricking courses.

History requires a degree of understanding repeating patterns of similar events, understanding situational context of how events unfolded, comprehension of a multitude of cultural contexts to understand WHY it happened and so much more.

Theater requires a great deal of learning how to act genuine, how to get into a character, of placing emphasis on empathizing and identifying with a role, especially if it's challenging. And that's just on the acting side of it.

Education is one of the most fricking useful, valuable, undermined, undervalued and underpaid job in the fricking world. Without educators, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN FRICKING HAVE PHYSICS OR MATH TEACHERS IN THE FRICKING FIRST PLACE.

new snappy quote?

Imagine having your head so far up your butt that you think theater,english and history, are pointless majors.

Does he think people are fricking morons on a math sub?

I learned what the greatest common denominator divisor was in elementary school ffs

highly upmarseyd comment on this thread

That's basically what my maths teachers did, and it's the main reason why I hate maths now. They were like "Everyone should practically be born with this knowledge, otherwise you're dumb and you won't succeed at anything". Really made me angry.
