If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'
John Wayne (My guru, not to be confused with my beloved prophet Jeremy Clarkson) -
Where I currently work, in the system programming team (probably one of the most technical areas) there are 5 women and 3 men, 1 is the team leader and an other is the manager of the whole department. The women outnumber the men for one very technical area....
(admittedly if look at the whole department, women are in a minority)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Generally women do not go into engineering cos it's a bit hard and they may chip a nail.
Best sticking to hairdressing imho.

Few females want to be engineers simply because there are few female engineers, ie they don't want to be sat in a class surrounded by a lot of randy young males with no other girls to talk to or make friends with.Growing old is mandatory
Growing up is optionalComment

Originally posted by xoggoth View PostAttitudes embrace both sexes. It has always been the case that there are few women in some technical areas. When I was at Uni there was one woman doing chemistry and none in physics and engineering but plenty doing pharmacy and social studies. Not much changed since as far as I can see. Male exclusion? I don't see how. There were no rules stopping women being engineers, they just weren't interested.
Couldn't be to do with nature I suppose? Men and women are different, not just physically but mentally. As long as everyone plays a useful role, does it really matter that every single sphere has an equal representation?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

So why is the suggestion of "hairdressing" perceived as a put down? No-one's pushing for more boys to become hairdressers. It's a sad fact that careers traditionally chosen by women are still seen as inferior to those chosen by men.Comment
