Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Thouch the F and the M are interchangeable for me.
Well, she is at least involved enough with somebody to be having kids with him. . . so I don't know if she's married but she is taken.
Star Trek Stops Women From Becoming Computer Scientists
“You can get a message about whether you want to join a certain group just by seeing the physical environment that that group is associated with,” Cheryan says. “You walk in, see these objects and think, ‘This is not me.’”
Cheryan and colleagues tested this idea by alternately decorating a computer science classroom with objects that earlier surveys pegged as stereotypically geeky—Star Trek posters, videogames and comic books — or with objects that the surveys found to be neutral— coffee mugs, plants and art posters. Thirty-nine college students spent a few minutes in the room, then filled out a questionnaire on their attitudes toward computer science.
Women who spent time in the geeky room reported less interest in computer science than women who saw the neutral room. For male students, however, the room’s décor made no difference.
In follow-up tests, a total of 215 students were asked to imagine they were joining either a geekily decorated or a neutrally decorated company after graduation. For every possible scenario, women preferred the non-geeky space.
“It’s a consistent effect,” Cheryan says. “The environment can communicate a sense of belonging, but it also communicates a sense of exclusion, or a sense that this is not a place where I would fit in.”
I wonder if a poster of Kirk and Spock kissing would help....

Aw, this makes me sad.
Did they try the same experiment on jocks and men who prefer NASCAR and those who would not be caught dead at SF conventions?

I know it would help me. I would have taken more than one physics class.

After about three years of denial, I finally have to face the truth that someone stole my baby and replaced her with this young girl: [link]
Oh my goodness! Where did the baby go?
