what a load of crap. I'm not aware of anyone personally that berates or deters any girl from pursuing the sciences. Heck, most middle school and high school girls I've seen are quite interested in technology. They Facebook, text, instagram, tweet, etc. You can't pry the damn phone out of their hands.

what they mean by there are not enought girlsin STEM careers, is that there are still some men working these jobs so we need to keep up the effort until the men have to have the babies and stay at home!

RG, You can play with barbies if you want. This is a no judgment zone.

I like being the only girl in my office. I don't have to go through that BS of telling someone I like her purse/hair/outfit/etc.

I played HS Football so I have plenty of experience playing with barbies

 

[MA_PE]

did you put shrimp on the Barbie?

took minisnick to medieval times Friday night. He was really getting into it. was shouting to the knight to watch out behind him when the other guy was coming after him while his back was turned. When it was getting intense minisnick would grab your arm and you could feel him all tensed up waiting to see what happened.

I played with Barbies until I was in 8th grade, yet somehow still can do math. Of course, I frequently was praised as smart and I was a scrawny, sickly child. According to popular culture I was supposed to become a superhero instead of a princess. Where are my mutants?

Not unless you either morphed into a male first, or grew ginormous balloon-shaped boobs. Hmm...

I'm dubious about those claims too. My girls got into playing dress-up on their own, and would opt out of using power tools if it meant they had to take off the tutus and jewelry for safety reasons. However, I do think we typically tend to expect more of our boys than our girls, which adds to the gender gap. We often berate boys for not knowing how to fix a computer or use tools, yet we put no such pressure on girls.

We had a a baby boy! He was born last night. His older brother came to visit today and was super excited. We're still at the hospital though. Hopefully, we can head home tomorrow.
