I could count the number of women in my engineering department on the fingers of one hand, excluding the thumb, and with an extra finger left over...
No matter what the feminists say, we ARE wired differently, and that is by design by a power much more intelligent than we can imagine. However, there will always be a few at the ends of every curve - I happen to be one of those women who leans technical (I chose IT rather than engineering).
It’s been both a blessing and a curse to be so - kind of like being an alien on a strange planet. There are many times I simply can’t relate to other women, and while I can get along with men quite well and keep pace with them professionally, I’m not quite “one of the guys” either.
