> > I think girls are just as good as math as boys, if not better. But I also think that most girls just aren't interested enough in it to pursue that line of education. Girls are mostly drawn towards social jobs, I think. While guys like to put numbers in system and make it all work out to be zero in the end, girls like to juggle people, feelings, social situations etc. and make it all work out nicely. Guys like to put material things in order, while girls care about the immaterial stuff. Or am I wrong?

> You're wrong! Alright... in general, you're right. But not always. According to Keirsey, of Keirsey Personality Test fame, *most* women and most men are like that. And then you have the freaks - the women who test as thinkers, and the men who test as feelers. On the INTP and INTJ-lists (which I subscribe to but never post to anymore) there are actually quite a few female programmers/techie geeks... very few who aren't at least interested in it. I'm a geek, and so are most of my female friends. And I know a lot of guys who are better at social situations than I'll ever be. ::shrug:: Freaks of nature, perhaps, but none of us seem to mind... It comes down more to the thinking/feeling split than gender, I think.

Heehee. Thanks a LOT for lumping us together as "thinking freaks," Fobulis. You're implying *most* /natural/ women have no brains, and think with their emotions instead!
