Girls in Engineering- Comic that explains it all

[Mikell Taylor]

I hate to double post, but I wanted to address one other point:

I do think it's a shame there aren't more male nurses, and I don't think that's a genetic thing either -- I think it's how society responds to it. Remember that movie "Meet the Parents" that was full of LOL YOU'RE A MALE NURSE jokes? We can laugh at that, but switch that around and imagine a movie full of LOL YOU'RE A FEMALE ENGINEER? jokes. It'd be totally un-PC and frankly, the "male nurse" version should be too.

I think until we manage to reduce -- hell, eliminate -- the glaringly obvious prejudices and social factors from the equation, it's unfair and harmful to write it off as biological predisposition.
