Three years ago, Lawrence H. Summers, then President of Harvard University, gave a speech in which he implied the innate inferiority of women in the natural sciences. It's unfortunately a common enough stereotype: silly, ditzy Dee Dee always destroying little Dexter's creations of engineering genius. Unfortunately, for Dr. Summers and other like-minded detractors, real life is not like a Cartoon Network show. All-girl engineering teams like the Green Grinches will be all to happy to prove that "Whoever said 'may the best man win', never asked a girl to play." So, for those brainy girls out there with dreams of changing the world, don't let those mean old men put you down...this day is yours! Grab those calculators and rulers and show the world what you can do.
