Let's be reasonable now. Posting controversial opinions and/or opinions grotesquely opposite of CD popular opinion will get you neg repped into oblivion. Heck, I've been neg repped for "Harsh tone". Some BS that is.

Point is, the guy probably wants to voice his true opinion without sacrificing his account's reputation. Yes, they're just dots. But all the cool kids have them.


My point is: if we're REALLY that concerned with women in engineering, we need to stop the equality fanfare and focus our attention on changing parenting techniques of "Legos and K'nex for boys and barbie/baby dolls for girls". Little kids are VERY persuadable, and if you want to instill a passion in both boys and girls EQUALLY, you need to introduce engineering to both similarly. Right now, boys are generally exposed to engineering WAY before girls are, and therefore are more likely to want to do it.

There's a reason kids do what they do; it's because their parents are setting them up to do it.
