Where are all the women going?
A new report finds that 52 percent of female scientists in the private sector are dropping out of their fields. Why is this happening -- and what can we do about it?

    "Absolutely! I went to engineering school, and there is something wrong with most of those guys. They are weird and smelly in high school, never learn to be social, and then think women should fuck them because they make 60k. I feel very bad for female/gay/black engineers, and my heart breaks for them. I might have greatly enjoyed that type of work, but the prospect of being harangued by men who hated me because I wouldn't fuck them wasn't very enticing. Even for good money."

    Misandry much?

    Generalising about female engineers = bad. Generalising about male engineers good.

    Frankly you sound as socially dysfunction as the guys you complain about.
