I think it's a great idea. In the U.S. we need more of this for both girls and boys. I head up a test team in an R&D group. Two of the 6 test engineers on my team are women, one of our development managers is a woman and we have several other women engineers in our organization. Most of them were not born or educated in the U.S.
Introduce A Girl To Engineering Day

I find this bizarre. Why does it even matter that engineering is a male dominated field?
Is this type of thing done for female dominated fields?
I can't really imagine an 'Introduce a boy to hairdressing day' or an 'Introduce a boy to vet nursing day'

If in 2011 you find this "bizarre," there really isn't anything that anyone on this board can do to help you understand. : ) Additionally, I don't think you're that obtuse but were just baiting responses.
But why don't you ask TD? Apparently, he didn't realize that his daughter has the amazing opportunity to be a hairdresser.

Oh well you know I learned on another thread on this board that men think and women feel.
Do you know what I learned on another thread? "All" the men are getting smart and leaving JWs, but the women are staying in. But that think/feel thing has me worried. As someone who "feels," how can I ever hope to compete against a male lawyer who "thinks?"

I'm sorry I derailed your thread TD.
How is it derailed? The topic is introducing "girls" to engineering. The other posts addressed WHY we NEED to introduce girls to engineering in the US when, as docbob pointed out, other countries do not.

Wow, now I feel totally weird. I get accused all the time of being unfeeling and thinking to much (offline).
Thanks for the link TD. -

Wow, now I feel totally weird. I get accused all the time of being unfeeling and thinking to much (offline). I feel your pain MJ. I'm a female INTJ. Women get slammed for feeling and not thinking, but if you are a thinking and less feeling women, you get called names. My daughters' have the same problem. The one at Amazon has more difficulties simply because of the international environment, but my prosecutor daughter thrives in her environment. VERY few women are prosecutors. It's an emotionally draining (the pictures of victims alone...OMG), incredibly fast paced, down-n-dirty form of litigation. The "f" word RINGS in the corridors, so softies just do not make it. A telling example was last Valentine's Day. Not one of the few women who work there received flowers. tee hee hee... raw meat perhaps....but no flowers. Razziel...THIS is an example of an off-topic post that might derail a thread. Sorry TD. I appreciate that you are trying to do your part.
