This is shit. I read in some article that 99% of the women electrical engineers quit engineering after 5 years.

As an EE, I can tell you, the work environment sucks!!!!

Yeah bitch is ok term to to refer to women. You are just too sensitive. Stop complaining about crap work - be a teamplayer. You dont' like coming out to drink with us - therefore you are not one of us. We are uncomfortable telling dirty jokes in front of you - I wish they did not hire you. You have 3.8GPA but you were hired just as a quota. You took a guy's job that needs to support with family. You complain you must be PMSing. There is essentially no seat at the table for you.

Math is a freaking language. The women I tutored in college all were told they were bad in math because they were female - and they believed the shit.

Do you know that most statisticians are 50-50 women and men? That is why I love stats. Not only was the math as easy as in engineering but there were real role models for me.

Edit: Further empirical evidence that women are not bad at math. Go to graduate programs at top rated schools, in engineering and math departments you will find a good fraction are women - I talking about 30%. Yes not 50% but much higher than undergraduate levels which are more 5-10% range.
