thatalbanianguy: : Engineering schools are expensive and difficult to get in to, even with a 3.8 and a 2100. You hear this guys? Women are so weak minded, according to anon here, that someone DOUBTING they can do something makes them not even attempt it. Wow, you love women so much dont you anon? You dont think they’re stupid or weak minded at all, do you anon? BLESS THIS POST.

THIS is the kind of stuff that makes me laugh.

“Women aren’t encouraged to go into STEM fields”

And this is stopping you how? I wasn’t encouraged to join the military, but no one ever told me I couldn’t do it because I’m a woman. Instead of being a little baby and needing CONSTANT encouragement and coddling to get things done, I just did it. And I’m getting my STEM degree because I just wanted to, and I didn’t need constant affirmations from everyone in order to do so. If you’re so weak-minded that you can’t accomplish anything without cheerleaders all along the way, you’re probably not cut out for this “being a grown-up” business after all.
