[quote=Anonymous]"DP - Your DD may be a Blair SMAC grad but that doesn't mean she knows well enough to issue such a blanket statement. As for you, you either don't know what STEM stands for (it is much more than writing only code!) or so blinded by your negative feelings about Asian-Americans that you think all they do is only write code and don't know how to write English."

The one issuing the blanket statement was the person claiming that a degree in Women's studies from Harvard was ALWAYS a bad idea.

They claimed a STEM path through community college was better.  This is laughable and indicates that they value neither writing skills nor the other skills necessary to finish any degree at Harvard.

I am sorry that you have gone through the persecution you must have gone through to be able to write your second sentence.

Thinking about it, I can see where my use of symmetry (writing English and writing code) might get you thinking that way.

Actually, my comment is living proof that having 20 years experience as a Principle Investigator in chemistry and biophysics and even knowing how to write about them is not enough to write about the difficult and personal subjects that you would learn to write about in a Women's Studies at Harvard.

As I sat here this morning trying to come up with a reply, it became even more obvious that learning how to communicate about subjects that provoke feelings is worthwhile for those who want to pursue it even if I never would.
