整體感知

本文是一篇議論文，主要說(shuō)明了為什么從事科技領(lǐng)域相關(guān)職業(yè)的女性占比很

少。據(jù)調(diào)查，盡管女性占勞動(dòng)力總數(shù)的一半，但從事科技領(lǐng)域的女性僅占14.4%。

有三個(gè)主要原因可以解釋這一狀況：第一，大部分女性從小時(shí)候起就內(nèi)化了這

種男性有學(xué)習(xí)理科的天賦，且比女性更加擅長(zhǎng)的性別偏見(jiàn)悌二，女性需要長(zhǎng)期

面對(duì)一些固有的社會(huì)觀念的束縛悌三，有些女性自己本身就對(duì)科技領(lǐng)域相關(guān)職

業(yè)有著刻板的印象。因此，女性要打破這種刻板認(rèn)識(shí)，戰(zhàn)勝性別偏見(jiàn)，勇于追

求自己的職業(yè)理想。雖然和以前相比，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有很多女性從事科技領(lǐng)域相關(guān)

行業(yè)，但要真正實(shí)現(xiàn)性別平等，培養(yǎng)女性的才能，還需要繼續(xù)努力。
