Racial differences are extraordinarily superficial and hard to define. Gender differences by comparison are massive and very real.
Again, there is a very real debate on how much is culture and how much is biological.
But, it's not ALL culture. The fact is girls and boys are different and will continue to be different.
We don't know if their interest level in math/science is biology or culture.
If I had to guess, it would be both. I think we can do more to get more female engineers for sure, but forcing people to do something they don't want to do is just as wrong.
- harryh 10y agoHistorically people have said that women were un-interested to be lawyers. They are now quite well represented. They've said that women were un-interested or ill suited to be doctors. They are now quite well represented (and might actually become a majority). Maybe are right about women being un-interested or ill suited to be programmers. But I doubt it.
