The Battle of the Sexes - Illuminated

So I'm the only female around here. In fact, I'm the only ONE around here most of the time. But that's beside the point. Throughout history, there has been an ongoing battle of the sexes. Men and women are fundamentally different. We just are. We have different strengths and weaknesses, and we are meant to complement each other (I meant to spell it that way)...not be equivalent. I know. I know. Feminists hate me. I'm used to it.


I am a woman. I like to bake cookies and teach Zumba. I like to nurture children and flowers. I like to dress up and feel pretty. Yes. I am a woman.

I also love math. I used to like the beat the pants off of my male friends in tests and challenges in college. I was regularly called upon for tutoring from my fellow engineering students. Perhaps that is a bit unusual. I don't know. There were very few females in my classes. But, yes, I am a woman. I just happen to be one of the math loving variety. There seems to be a stereotype that women can't DO math....and some people think that makes us women lesser...somehow...Thankfully, lots has been done in past years to eradicate that idea.

But today I saw this:

And now I know why we have the stereotype. Thanks a lot, Chels.
