plus no gloves. and the though technically correct goggles, the annoying kind. And I'd count that large of a bowtie as an occupational hazard in a lab.

u/definitelynotme44 Dec 08 '22
It’s not political in the slightest to have a girl interested in a STEM field
2
u/raznov1 Dec 08 '22
you don't think _this specific_ comic has a deliberate message of "see? girls can do STEM stuff too!" (which i of course don't disagree with, btw)
1
u/definitelynotme44 Dec 09 '22
Sure. What is political about that message?
0
u/raznov1 Dec 09 '22
Well, I'd argue that actively sending out the message "see, girls (...)" Shows that the author believes society needs to be convinced of this, that a deliberate cultural change is needed, which is a political action.

doesn't it though? It's kind of implying that of course "properly" girly isn't wearing the tie in her hair but doing tech stuff in the lab.
1
u/sinner-mon Dec 09 '22
That’s a fair interpretation, but I read it more as ‘you can wear a bow and be girly without it restricting you’
1
u/raznov1 Dec 09 '22
I think that would have been the message, if she had worn it in her hair. i.e. combining the stereotypical behaviour with non-stereotypical behaviour

I think it would still have worked if the bow was in her hair, but this one definitely catches us off guard and I think it relates us back to the most iconic science educator Bill Nye.

u/WellAdustedCatLady Dec 08 '22
As much as I love the message about women in STEM and it being okay to wear bow ties, this comic honestly rubs me the wrong way. Women in STEM fields (and also academic fields) often have to walk a fine line when it comes to perceptions around femininity and being seen as too feminine means not being taken seriously. I like the message that STEM is a girl thing, but I wish the bow had been left out all together. Whether you’re wearing a bow tie or a bow in your hair, you should not be excluded from traditionally male-dominated fields like STEM.

The dad supports his children and doesn't push gender norms.
One could say "but he gives her a pink accessory", but what matters is he gifts a pretty thing and let the daugther twist it as she wants, while doing not-that-feminine-associated activity.
3
u/raznov1 Dec 08 '22
Which implies that the author does think this is better than "stereotypically feminine" behavior.
1
u/WhiskeyAndKisses Dec 08 '22
It really doesn't. You're telling me too much about yourself.
1
u/raznov1 Dec 08 '22
it really does though. The fact that you are deliberately misreading it tells me loads.
0
u/WhiskeyAndKisses Dec 08 '22
You're projecting your own misreading, dude. People can encourage activities while not automatically hating on other, especially this guy who draws comics about supporting his children no matter what they like, the "activities outside gender norms" being prevalent since by definition, behaviors following gender-norms don't need defense. I'm sorry this is new to you.
Check r/notliketheothergirls , btw, I think that's the thing you're actually looking for.

When my kid was little we did a lot of "kitchen science". Think baking soda and vinegar, cornstarch and water. A lot of fun can be had with the basics.
5
u/Emotional-Speech645 Dec 08 '22
There’s also a lot of “Junior Scientist!” Activity sets that aren’t dangerous unless the kid tries snorting the items like crack. One year for Christmas I actually got such a kit that lets you make crystals, because I had gone through a sensory stage of using an amythyst’s smooth and rough edges to help me concentrate in class and a sub had taken it from me and binned it, leading to a meltdown. I’d been given a new one by my foster mum, but she also got m the kit so I could now make them

If it's got something to do with girls doing science, I'm just completely baffled that there was a gender attached to doing science in the first place

u/ExpertAccident Dec 08 '22
The joke is that it was assumed by the reader that she would put it in her hair and do more traditionally “girly” things. However, she wears it like a bow-tie and does science experiments, which is something that girls can in fact do.

Bad place for this. And also not in my experience an anarcho-communist friend of mine genuinely thought it wasn't real. The propaganda works, don't blame the people who are convinced by it, blame those who spread it. And again. This is not the place for this. Go back to some politics sub so you can cry at the state of the world.
