If you see this as a problem that needs fixing then more power to you. Many however see no problem. Women have free will and can choose the career of their liking. Also "Men, after all, embody most of the problem;" will not be winning many converts to your point of view. Men are not a uniform being. You're painting with some really broad brush strokes and the only people who are going to hear what you say are those that already fully believe it themselves.

> Many however see no problem. This is true with most problems. How many people saw a problem with the Windows hegemony? That doesn't mean it's not a problem, just that many people are not in a place to see it. > Women have free will and can choose the career of their liking. Yes and no, in that order. "Career" is an essentially social concept. Consider, for example, that women got less than 10% of medical and legal degrees as recently as 1972: http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt/assets/hua_hsu/cohen_doctorlawyer.png http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt/assets/hua_hsu/cohen_do... What changed between now and then wasn't women's free will, which they have always had. It was the social context. > Men are not a uniform being. You're painting with some really broad brush strokes Sure. So are you. I think most people here are smart enough to understand how a generalization works. > "Men, after all, embody most of the problem;" will not be winning many converts to your point of view. Sure, there are people who, for the moment, are such delicate flowers that they cannot admit that they might be part of the problem. But if those people "convert", they will not do much good.
