Smallish Post 5

I always knew that the percentage of women in the sciences and Maths was low but I didn't know that at one point it was not. From the article in the New York Times, I learned that the percentage of women in computing was about 50%. Naturally there is the question in my mind if why the amount of women decreased but even more than that I wonder why in the world the amount of women in sciences was that high! Also, I find it interesting that the idea is sometimes argued that there is a higher ratio of women in technology in other countries such as China and India and use it to argue that the low ratio in the US is a problem because women do not have a good introduction to technology. I find this baffling. The culture in China and India is completely different from here. Here, we have so many freedoms, especially in expectations for women and careers.
