"Men" with Pens

It is stunning that a male pseudonym can still make all the difference. Read this!

The was posted by FSP. It's no secret that the sciences are still male-dominated. The classes I teach (mostly engineers in the calc sequence) are mostly male. I've heard of math grad schools with 60% women. Definitely not the norm, though. I guess feminism still has a long way to go.

The scariest part for me is that supposedly enlightened people still harbor so much prejudice. I'm sure this includes me. Food for thought.

A real-life version of the classic New Yorker comic.
