A comment on Let’s Use Hard Science to Help Tech Companies Advance Women. Parent comment
Not by making it seem special or different and accommodating.
Make it cool --make young girls as excited about working in STEM as they are about working in TV or Hollywood, being a Pharmacist or Lawyer.
Trying to fix things after that is not as productive and is more interventionist.
While saying that, don't dissuade boys from it. Just keep on trying to persuade girls more. Offer more classes to accommodate everyone interested.
I mean, if the soviets could mobilize their women to be top notch scientists by creating a pipeline from elementary school on, so can we.
