More women in a STEM field leads people to label it as a ‘soft science'

I’ll save everyone some time: the article doesn’t contain any stats, nor mentions of how the survey was done or which scientific disciplines were undervalued. It also doesn’t link to any peer-reviewed article where the author could have filled those gaps. It however links to articles from reputable scientific journals such as Business insiders or the New York Times and myths such as the "wage gap".

It’s ironic considering the article is whining about some scientific disciplines being considered less rigorous, yet makes no attempt to be rigorous itself.

The article doesn't discuss what the fields actually are that got labeled. In my opinion things such as sociology, psychology, economics, and political science are all "soft"

Simply because the complexity of the systems makes them insanely difficult to analyze and we don't have a firm grip on the mechanics, not because there are more women.

Correlation != causation

Edited to add: from my perspective, the label of something as a "hard" science comes from the solidity of analysis and models. How well and how often, how reproducible are the models and results when compared to the real system? The closer the model is to reality, the more solid or "hard" the science
