Both, doing well in maths and science, as I did, as well as some friends who went on to power engineering, instramentation and geophysics. Just to name a few.
My point was that women shouldn't dumb themselves down though, I was never arguing that they weren't good at science/math.

Well as for cultural pressure, when I attended college there was hardly a man to be found. It was mainly women who were exceeding in the maths and sciences as the few guys that were in attendance were often too preoccupied with getting laid.

I guess it's a little different here were I live due to the demand of workers in various "male" fields. They can't get enough people here to fill all the positions needed in order to keep up production, therefore women have an overwhelming success rate in fields they might not otherwise have considered.
It's the norm here to meet plenty of women in typically male orientated work. Welders, heavy haulers, electricians ect. Because of the enviroment here it's not the norm to see women dumbing themselves down. They are just as competetive in every field of education and career. About the only women considered to be dumb here are the ones who cater to the men instead of compete with them.

is there even a word for a male slut? is it "playah"? that's relatively recent to the mainstream (if it's there yet ... and the opposite of a pejorative to lots of people ...)
sonhouse, if the girlfriend has a baby out of wedlock she's more likely to raise it in her parents' house than yours ... maybe that's where it comes from ... (assuming she moves to any parents' house ...)
plus, the baby would definitely be hers, but as the for the father, who could say? ... maybe that's where it comes from ... paternity testing is relatively late to the scene also ...

So are you saying that all men who are not apart of their childrens lives get kicked out by the women?
Do you believe in the family unit? By that I mean mother, father and child. That's a simple enough question, I would have thought.

Originally posted by BowmannYes I believe in the family unit but I also live in reality. The reality is there isn't much value anymore in the traditional family unit.
