[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I went to college for engineering 20 years ago, only 10% of students were female. I viisted last year and it's about 50-50 now. The efforts to get girls to study STEM are really paying off.

But.. there are no efforts to get boys to study anything. It's like all the resources were directed to girls, and boys got nothing. It's sad.[/quote]

I guess men need to step up and start encouraging their sons to get into teaching and nursing. Why haven't men done this? [/quote]

Because you can barely make a living as a teacher. How will men find wives when they care barely pay their own bills?[/quote]

If men want equity they need to be willing to do this work, otherwise they're full of it. FYI: men with less money than teachers get married every day. Are you from the past??[/quote]

I know male teachers married to lawyers and scientists.  Plus, a male teacher will have many opportunities to get to know female colleagues.  A two-income teacher household can do just fine, especially if one of them holds down a summer job, too (like camp director or swim team coach).[/quote]
