I apologize upfront for the weird wording below.

ignoring the gender factor, what we need are hardcore engineers that are dedicated. i think guys are misguided when they assume that girls going into engineering are the ones who are soft and manipulative… trying to get promoted etc based on sex appeal… as aibarr stated, most the girls in engineering are very dedicated and have to go over obstacles that guy engineers don’t have to. the girls who graduate with an engineering degree have shown that they are capable of hard work, so seriously stop demeaning them.

Do you really think that all the engineering girls are ditzy cheerleaders who can’t accomplish anything? Do you really think this is how colleges choose their engineers? http://chappie.stanford.edu/archives/1980s/hits_from_the_80s/USC_application/
