One for the men

Are we living in the 1950s?

It's no wonder there are so few girls going into science and technology fields.

Female, working in IT and trying to figure out how I can get hold of this book!

Many thanks for this!

I'm chasing a slightly less popular book. Do I order at whsmith online (not sure how to check availability) and go to store and use voucher or phone branch (to check stock) and then pop down with voucher?

Thanks,

Andyfff

Men are more likely to be interested in technology than women. Fact. Don't give the OP a hard time - geez the amount of mild sexism that goes on in this women dominated forum. My stupid hubby did this ...etc

Calling it a fact doesn't make it so. Studies have shown that girls perform just as well as boys in maths, but gender stereotypes prevent them from going into male-dominated fields (Else-Ques, et al, 2010).

And I will give the OP a hard time because studies also show that when women are reminded of the gender stereotypes, they actually start to perform worse (Kiefer and Sekaquaptewa, 2007).

It's not that women are biologically programmed to be less interested in technology than men. It's just that, thanks to people like you and the OP, girls grow up believing that science and maths are male subjects.

When someone writes, 'This is one for cat owners' in a post about cat food, that makes sense. When someone writes, 'One for the men' in a post about a book, all that does is perpetuate an unhelpful stereotype.

I very much hope that the OP is not raising daughters.

If you order at whsmith online, you have to pay by cc, so would not be able to use the voucher. The voucher is for use Instore only I believe.
