I think if you look at Google, Twitter and Facebook, you will see very few women in positions of leadership. Thats today’s world. . Whats needed is more support for women in high tech fields. Al the women I know graduated from colleges. College is the easy part. The hard part is the actual career So be careful what you wish for your daughter, is all I can say! Its not for most, and those that are coddled, in the oh so fair gender balanced environments, are LESS able to cope with the male world at Facebook, is the problem. I hear about it all the time. This is why women start their own companies in fact! Tired of getting ranked at the bottom at Facebook!!!
. Look at the lawsuit of Tina Huang, against Twitter and read it carefully! CMU is not addressing that. I wrote to them directly about it. The gender balance thing is simply somewhat unfair to boys, who want to study engineering and now have less access to it at the top schools. I never said that girls are less qualified overall, I think they may be identically qualified. Its the number of boys who apply versus how many get in, versus the number of girls who apply and how many get in that I am apposed to, not the qualifications of the girls. They are fully qualified in most cases. I do see boys, very top math students, USAMO students, getting rejected now
when in the past, USAMO was an automatic acceptance at places like CMU and MIT in math or CS.
