Based on your son's extensive knowledge there should be very few female scientists and engineers. Do have any idea how common female scientists and engineers are in the high tech world including computer science. Have you noticed the number of female physicians practicing these days??? Get your head out of your ass El Chapo.....

those increases are from foreign students mainly asians. you don't see many white/black american women in engineering classes, my son had ZERO.
Most of those Asians are Americans dipshit....and those that are not you and your teabagger friends are trying to keep out of the country.....then we would be limited to kids like your son.....

Most Democrats Need Remedial Science Education
Power Line by John Hinderaker

(John Hinderaker)
One of the more amusing aspects of the current political scene is the claim of liberals to be “pro-science”–a claim that is often made in the context of the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming theory, which is anything but scientific. Science is a method, not a body of dogma, and I am not aware of anyone in public life who is anti-science.

Of course, before you can be pro- or anti-anything, you have to have some idea of what you are talking about. This is where most Democrats fall short, to an astonishing degree. A National Science Foundation survey conducted in 2012 found that 51% of Democrats do not know that the Earth goes around the Sun, once a year!

Keep that nugget in mind for the next time someone tries to tell you how smart liberals are.
