[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a male-dominated STEM field. As a group, the women are far smarter than the men.

Maybe more women go to college because estrogen makes people smarter than testosterone.[/quote]

Men still seem to be founding startups disproportionately.

I have a son and a daughter and in HS my son frankly was moderately motivated whereas my daughter was always very driven. I had to really work hard to get my son through HS and he did get into a top 15. He is a totally different person in college and excelling beyond our expectations in terms of securing internships and research. I have learned he only works for things that matter to him, he did not want to work on foreign language or English in HS so making him focus on that was a challenge. I know he will be much better in the workforce and I finally see him maturing. Maybe I should I have held him back a year, I see the wisdom in red-shirting some boys. If he were born to a family of much fewer resources, maybe he would not have gone to college. I quit my job to focus on him during HS.[/quote]
