If science and math are cool fields for women to be in (and I think they are), why not embrace all of it - including the 'geekier' aspects? What's wrong with that, that other women don't like 'geeky' stuff?

Don't get me wrong; I am a CS major and wouldn't mind tipping the ratio in favor of more women, but stop acting like this is a tragedy. And besides there is a major scholarship organization dedicated to changing this.

If women are disfavored in the work place that's the work place. In college they have plenty of advantages. If you don't believe me then you sure as hell haven't been to my school.]]>Dec 19th 2009 7:03PM
