You can argue that but, out of curiosity, I just sent my daughter a text. Me: 'How long do you think you kept friendship bracelets for?' Her reply: 'Maybe two weeks. I still have one from [redacted] somewhere.' As I said, it surely isn't universal but she and her friends all fit that pattern. It didn't keep her from STEM, she's an MD.

  I'd call medical a science, but that's just me.

    That's what I'm saying. It's only some of the sciences that have a shortage of women, and medical isn't really one of them. In fact one branch (nursing) has a huge oversupply of women.
