Ditto. Same for my PLS. I’ve got a room full of techs that can draft a topo but couldn’t resolve a boundary if their life depended on it. Savy does not equal a licence.
Come on. Did this really happen? Was it female engineered or mostly female engineered? I have seen others say this too. Or hint at it that it was an affirmative action designed bridge.
A common characteristic in all affirmative action schemes for minorities and women is discarding objective measures of merit in favor of subjective ones. That allows hiring and promotion to be based on identity politics and diversity rather than qualifications.
Look at the names of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie Curie shared the 1903 prize. The next woman was Maria Goeppert-Mayer, who shared the 1963 prize.
I haven't checked all of the foreign names in recent years to be sure none of them were women but I think those are the only two women so far. Jean Perrin in 1926 was a Frenchman.
If only the committee wasn't so prejudiced!

How on earth do these women know how much effort the men put in? One.
And two, what if the women put in triple what the men put in and still didn't do as well? It means this isn't their bag. Like, pick a different field of study.
Perceived?! How does one's perception dictate anything? What BS world am I living in anyway?
“So women are worse at math and engineering, work hard, fail, and expect an A because they “tried.” Um, that’s not how it works.”
We should apply this to sports. For example in baseball the game will be won not by the number of runs scored but by which team the umps decided tried the hardest.
