The only thing I remember about my physics lab is a blond with rocking body that was in my group...she'd come to the lab after her physical ed class I guess and her skimpy little outfits were definitely getting in the way of me conducting meaningful science experiments...

I agree with you both. That seems ridiculous! As for the steropytes (that it should be a girl who's gonna take notes or organize everyhting) - yes. They still exist. Unfortunately. Yep. But it's up to you - either "to accept the rules" or to say "no" once in order to avoid taking notes for the rest of your life. And it works perfectly well. Prooved. And everybody is happy at the end - nothing is wrong with that. EXACTLY!! You said it! No need for government to step in unless there's blatant stuff going on -- which I, personally, have never seen.

Exactly. I forgot - I have the same opinion about the "minority problem". I posted a story in "Immigration" (sorry, it was in Russian) about what's going on in liberal Canada nowadays. They have a dress code for the lenght of skirts, but they are ok about wearing saris or those arabic sheets or other ethnic clothes in offices. They have (for real) "minority quotas" (aka minorities have an advantage of being hired first there) in all government organizations like ministries (I can speak for the province of Ontario only) - and it's official. It sucks big time. "If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?" Lilly Tomlin.

"Physics is a clearly racist field, because most of the great scientists of the past were white males" whoever thinks this way is a complete moron:-) let me come up with a similar (as far as logic goes) sentence... "Jazz is a clearly racist field, because most of the great jazz musicians of the past were black males."

Лисичка, I agree with you, but this stuff is not going to change even we start shooting people for doing it. It will only change when more women will go into CS or physics, when more minoritis will do the same. And when more of them will rise to the top. It's the same path asians have come. .... As we always say here - white man are not the smartest on this world.

I think Pom's getting the hang of how to think! Don't forget: Motherhood is a sexist field because most mothers are women! LOL! "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." --

for the russian-speaking community: "to get the hang of" Informal. The proper method for doing, using, or handling something. Example: finally got the hang of it.

I think there's also an idea floating out there that one becomes a world renowned scientist based upon ones efforts alone...they say "oh, we are trying so hard, but we are not getting anywhere...it must be the glass ceiling...the white man holding us down"...so schollarhood to them is almost like overtime - getting paid a "time and a half"...WTF?

Lisichka, all that stuff about tech: so true! it usually doesn't bother me much though, I just shrug it off and move on... we'll see who'll do better in the long run!

Yep, just write better programs than them... then see what they say! "Dude! You're pretty good for a girl!" HA HA!! "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." --

Then you have a good excuse in case of failure. Really, in any rate you win.

Men greatly outnumber women in those going into the science/research careers. Therefore, men are more successful. What's so surprising about this? What's the point of debating this? Many more women than men go into selling Mary Kay cosmetics. Therefore, women are more successful than men in selling Mary Kay cosmetics. So are we going to start a new topic about why women are more successful than men in the Mary Kay cosmetics industry? Also, K-9 guard dogs greatly outnumber the human race in the K-9 dog career. Let's start a topic about why dogs are better than humans in K-9 dog jobs. II

So negative as usual.... If it's not an issue to you then it should not be discussed....?? Whatever. Anais "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin

II, have a shame at last! Don't offend our little girlie with your mean posts anymore

If you think about it, the cosmetics are a "woman's physics"...LOL! Can one imagine the amount of s--t I will be catching now for this joke? Bad, bad AHTOH...
