Look, these all sound like fine programs, unto themselves. But I find this column itself odd.
The author lists different statistics and percentages which demonstrate an uneven male/female distribution within the field. Conspicuously absent though is any discussion whatsoever of the causes of this uneven distribution. ("To combat these numbers..." Really? It's the numbers we're fighting?) Presumably, she's leaving the reader to fill in that blank him/herself. Thankfully for the author's sake, we're all very well trained in filling that blank.
- estherschindler 16y agoThe article isn't trying to argue the causes of the low female:male ratio. It's just setting a context for why it's necessary for there to be organizations to address the problem. There are LOTS of articles that try to figure out the cause. This isn't one of them. It's a useful list, instead.
