Katie, everything that you say here is interesting and brings up questions worth discussing. I have no doubt that the research you've read is accurate.
My main question is: Does the research point out solutions (don't use girly femininity to endorse STEM) or does it point out symptoms of a larger societal issue of women judging other women (of all ages) based on various kinds of appearances.
