There aren't fewer boys pursuing STEM compared to girls.

Boys are not consistently conditioned, from a young age, to believe that STEM careers are out of their reach or beyond their capability.

It is in no way unreasonable to recognize that our culture -- to its detriment! -- has a deleterious impact upon young women's ability to have meaningful, lasting impact on their own future.

Taking action to correct that impact is a moral imperative; claims about discrimination against boys, in this area, are ridiculous on their face and represent a fundamental lack of awareness of the benefit, as a man, this culture provides you.

Be part of the solution.
