I’m 75. Graduated with an engineering degree many, many years ago. Only girl in the class. Nothing is stopping women except themselves. Oh yeh...and had a 3.8. ran a successful business for over 40 years.

My point exactly. Women who wanted to in years past, worked hard and DID it.

Did they (or you) have to put up with being the only woman in the room and all that goes along with it? Sure. But over time, you get REAL acceptance from people when they realize you can do your job and do it well.

This is, in my eyes, the bigotry of soft expectations. The Left does this with various minorities and women. I think it is corrosive and destructive to the society, the workplace, and the individuals involved.

Bless you! I'm a 70 year old male who recently retired from an engineering career. Along the way I worked with some women who had no trouble whatsoever carrying their own load. When I consider Admiral Grace Hopper and her tribe of women, I am certain they never needed lower standards in order to set new standards in computing. I encountered Dr. Donnamaie White who taught the engineers from Digital Equipment Corporation what they needed to know in order to make the PDP-11 come to life.

After a very short stent teaching in high school, I discovered that the girls do very well with engineering and math. Boys are too entangled with computer gaming to compete.
