The gender gap/inequality...

I have heard some stuff on NPR this past year and more recently read some articles on the gendedr gap, and inequal opportunities for women, and I will admit I was skeptical at first but the stuff I have read and heard this year convinced me otherwise, now if only I could convince my boyfriend...so I am posting all the articles/news stories I have heard here as a plea for all people, men and wommen, to read and understand that there is a GENDER GAP and it is not because women get pregnant, or don't have a work ethic. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/unofficial-prognosis/2012/09/23/study-shows-gender-bias-in-science-is-real-heres-why-it-matters/ http://www.sharayurkiewicz.com/2011/02/dont-rule-out-sexism-so-quickly.html http://www.thehastingscenter.org/Bioethicsforum/Post.aspx?id=5255&blogid=140 http://www.npr.org/2012/07/12/156664337/stereotype-threat-why-women-quit-science-jobs http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1983185,00.html
