It's called "lip service". It's quite possible for people to assert one thing but in actuality be part of a system that systematically drives contrary to that assertion. You know, kind of like how our founders held those truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and then codified slavery in the next breath. Just because we say women should do X doesn't mean we've actually created an environment that nurtures that outcome.
- tapatio 13y agoSorry, I don't buy that. I pushed a lot of young women into STEM. I've told them many times that it would be a great field for them to get into. 99% of them ARE NOT INTERESTED. They don't care about how exciting it is or how much money they'll be making. Kind of similar in vain to the women who pick "hot" dudes to marry even though they are losers/deadbeats and later complain about said dudes.
