I always just thought there were less female geeks because the woman that can handle being around so many dorky guys at one time is a rare breed indeed.
nice call im intended to agree with you hear
I'm one of the only girls in my Electronics and Computer Technology program at school. No other girls in my classes. Being around so many dorky guys can be annoying, but mostly it's fun. If they bug me I tell them to shut it.

Clearly in the US, where I and many of you are from, girls/women are given an equal opportunity to pursue education in maths and sciences. In fact, at least one study has shown a consistent bias on the part of teachers/professors in favor of women and girls at all levels of education. (The study was sponsored by an association here in Washington, DC which was dedicated to promoting equality for women in education. Hence, they were 'hoping' to find bias, but they could not.)
Women/girls do have more-or-less equal educational opportunities. In addition, women who are qualified for and seek 'geeky' jobs are not at a disadvantage in the hiring process, since companies are generally eager to avoid any lawsuits re discrimination in employment, and will jump on the chance to hire a woman for this kind of position. I don't see a problem.
Governmental coercion to force people, in this case women, to take courses they would not choose to take, would result in less freedom for everybody. I believe in freedom and an individual's right to choose. I would think that most people in the Suicide Girls 'community' would agree with me in this.
Whaddaya think?
Provide links if you're gonna cite study results that are incongruous with every other gender-related educational study on the planet. kthx.
copied and pasted from an earlier comment of mine about geeky guys meeting geeky girls
"I would make the claim that such women can not be found, notice I did not say that they do not exist but only that they can not be found. Throughout my studies of this creature of 'geek' I have found amoungst other things that they are a reclusive breed, they isolate themselves. The chances of a single 'geek' deciding to go out and meet people is small, the chances of 2 being out at the same time is even smaller...the chances that these 2 happen to be at the same place and of the opposite sex and somehow meet so that they can take your advice is so near impossible, it might as well be."
