"simply are not as interested in working quietly with numbers as men are"

That's frankly a ridiculous statement in this context. Women are en masse working quietly in writing, music, painting, knitting etc. There's also plenty of women medical research, chemistry and economics. I also know of more women with a "profile in the community" in electronics than I do in software, which is probably less social than coding.



"Women are en masse working quietly in writing, music, painting, knitting." None of these involve numbers.

Sincere question: why do you think women are less involved in engineering and more involved in teaching and social work?


Is that what you think a sincere question sounds like?


Whether or not it sounded sincere, it was. I honestly find it an interesting question. I wonder why you are so sure in whatever answer you believe.
