"A new study into causes of the scarcity of women in technical and scientific fields says that it is not discrimination by men in the field keeping the ladies away. Nor is it a repugnance felt by women for possibly dishevelled or unhygienic male nerds.
No, the reason that young women don't train in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) areas - and thus, don't find themselves with jobs at tech companies, in IT etc - is quite simply that they mostly don't know enough maths to do those courses."

It's NOT the men's fault. ~ Posted by: Snoopy at July 27, 2015 7:55 AM
Haven't you been paying attention? It's always the men's fault.
It's the men's fault that not enough women take higher math classes in middle and high school. And their fault that students who don't have a background of taking those courses early can't do well in higher math fields in college.
An ingrown toenail would be easier to deal with but she does a great job here.

Is that a shark in your pocket, or do you just hate to see me?
