Again! Here we go again. Another round of problematizing the choices women make about their careers: A Wired .com article "In search of she-geeks" (wired.com)
Again, the story begins with
1) girls can be into tech
2) girls are in tech
The next obvious question is, why is that important, and whats the news?
Well, the news is, ofcourse, that for some reason we aren't seeing AS many girls in tech as some would like.
Although girls can make up their own mind about such things (and that's a very strongly stressed point related to how smart and independent girls are), its actually better if they are just told what to do: "become a compute scientist, dear, you may not understand why (because you're just a girl), but its good for you"
If that doesn't downplay the intellectual capacity of women, what does? Well, feminism never was for the woman, it was always against a woman.
