* <<H3x.0000>> Alright, I'm still annoyed that I was unable to articulate my point satisfactorily in there. Here's my concern: all the activity we see directed at, for example, gender parity in STEM, is in the form of classes, events, programs, and products sending a girl-power message to girls and young women, while we see no activity being directed at boys to foster an appreciation for diversity and gender parity. Empowering girls is important, but telling a room full of girls they're empowered while the boys are off enjoying the status quo and ignoring whatever the girls are doing is not really coming at the problem from both sides. Maybe it's happening where I can't see it, but I don't see any effort being put into making boys want more girls in their clubs, so to speak. -- Excerpted from: PUBLIC NOTES (H) http://alph.laemeur.com/txt/PUBNOTES-H ©2017 Adam C.
