This goes along with my observation that women wish they knew how to fix cars as well as men do, not realizing that most men suck at fixing cars too.
When my young carpool mate asked me what I did to be so good with cars, I replied "when I was your age I was too broke to have someone fix them, so I learned how to do it myself! Necessity is a mother!"
Also had a friend, who, for the same reason, replaced the entire exhaust system on her Olds Delta 88. She's a pediatrician now.
WTF? Just, ugh. Yeah, "academic and literacy skills" translate uniquely into "male dominated" robotics. Or was it merely reading about robotics? (Maybe I should read the entire thing.) In any case, anyone should be allowed to wonder/read/venture into any world they choose, especially in a goddamn library. Come on, Canada.
With all the talk these days about women into STEM fields and sexism out, I realize my household wasn't normal (again) because my mom was telling her sexist boss in the lab where to pound it back in 1957, and I thought this was typical.
Good on ya Cash. Grrlz can be geeks too, also, regardless what Douchelaureate Tim Hunt says.
This is hilarious! The program was being targeted at boys because, it seems, they're considered morons and girls don't need the help:
"the program would only be offered to boys because their 'academic and literacy skills don't improve over the summer break'."
Won't someone think of the stupid, lazy men?

when I was your age
BACK IN THE DAY LIBUL!!1!
congratulations, you're now officially an oldz…
He probably walked five miles uphill both ways in the snow to get to school every single day.
And he liked it.
Oh, |couldn't resist|
You had school? Luxury!
Well, when I said it was a "school', I meant…
In My Day, we didn't get to go to and from this fancy orbiting space station. We had to settle for guys walking on the crummy old Moon.
Oh, yeah- I knew I was old, because the belowmentioned carpool mate was born A YEAR AFTER I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL
nothing like working a show on campus and spotting a cute college girl, only to have your buddy mention that she's a co-worker's daughter…
[What a drag it is…]
