Women, Science and the World

One of my extreme interest in in the field of developing the world is the hidden respect for women; the equality of women in all the societies. Gender bias can be as devastating and hurtful as any other bias. Men are women have their own ability and given gifts, they are not created equal, they have different ways to focus on family responsibilities and procreation. These differences are not easily disregarded for gender discrimination and neither does it for any workplace. Hence, the differences are not easily dismissed.for professional women the fact that they need to be better than their male counterparts, is how they gain success, giving them better choices. This happenes because of the glass ceiling, and gender discrimination.

A common question asked by researchers and feminists today is where are all the women? Only 10% of tenured women faculty showed up for university science programes while the fact is women make up more than half of all graduate students. And some researchers declared that gender discrimination is the superior cause for this discrepency unsubstantiated views, thus leaving women naturally unsuited for scientific scrutiny. Emotion is linked with and rationality with men according to centuries old views. Traditional views are articulated on structural inequalities that women are less calculative than men and therefore has less capability.

Being a feminist seemed straight-forward, when political discussions of sameness and difference were shaped around gender, and when radical action meant asking for, and getting, what the boys had? on the multiple, intersecting 'isms' of race, class, ethnicity, ability, look, age, language, culture, sexuality, and so forth, might make it seem so. How do we politicize difference with activism goals to understand social inequality.
