[QUOTE="yrp, post: 614382, member: 3901"] Saying someone "chooses" to put themselves in a worse position than they could be is one of the laziest arguments I've seen. Society is so complex and so many factors could lead to someone having to make a choice and you throw that all out the window and say that yeah, women just have a fundamentally different brain and they prefer it that way. There's literally study upon study done by people much smarter than you or me into why there's such a gender gap in fields and they've come up with great reasons as to why, but it's easier for me not to confront this problem that's affecting people near and dear to me because it's not affecting me. I can rid myself of any responsibility of it by throwing away (or refusing to acknowledge) these well though out arguments, statistics, and studies and say that these people have just chosen this path. What an easy and convenient cop out. Let me know when you're willing to see these arguments to the contrary, I'm more than happy to link you to some. [/QUOTE]
