Yes, I know and you were challenging it on the basis that I had internalized gender stereotypes and considered feminine pursuits more trivial simply because they were engaged in by women. This is false. I think many male pursuits are trivial, too. The basis for which I determine whether something is serious subject matter is gender neutral.

You have to read well to be a science major, too. It is just that you also have to have good mathematical and analytical skills, too. Science and math majors have to be able to do everything an arts major does and then some.

No I wasn't. I said they don't take physics classes to conform to male expectations. There is a difference, too bad you missed it.

I deem them that because I think studying storybooks and looking at pretty pictures, although fun, is trivial.

How convenient. Calculus, differential equations, statistics and physics aren't engineering classes. Those are prerequisite courses that qualify you to take the engineering classes.

Now there is an intelligent response. When you cannot refute my points, call me stupid. Doesn't surprise me at all that you couldn't hack physics.

Does reality TV count as a cultural activity in your book? Just curious.
