After reading Lawrence Summer’s position on women in the sciences, it is hard to understand why there continues to be a bias against women in jobs that require some actual intelligence to excel in. I agree with Bublick on the idea of the desire to pursue a career in the science or math fields, not me personally, but my best friend from Kindergarten has always had the drive and determination to become a research scientist. She loves science and math, it’s as simple as that. Now is Summer saying that because she is a woman, she can’t have a career that she might strive to have? I would bet that half the men out that pursuing the same career as she don’t have half the drive and determination that she has, yet the men would have a better chance of getting the job.
