Re: How To Recruit Women to Tech and IT Classes



Here, all along, I thought Jim was a guy, but the statement that "Motherhood
is the
most rewarding and beneficial avenue a woman can pursue. Those that can
are truly lucky." couldn't have been made by a man with no experience in the
field.

Herb, could it be that women have better things to do than waste time here
on this list?

For example, as you suggested in a previous post, they may be dealing with
something really important -- like their children.

This thread seems to have assumed that enticing a woman to become a
physicist is a step up. That of course is nonsense. Motherhood is the
most rewarding and beneficial avenue a woman can pursue. Those that can
are truly lucky.

Let me go way out on a limb and say that I think it would be a rare woman
who would trade her children for as much as a Nobel Prize in physics. And
be pretty unfortunate to do so.
