35. Fantastic article.

I'm having a devil of a time reading all the way to the end because the page keeps crashing and reloading, but it is a great article.

Where do all the business women in their 30s go, indeed. And "I'm just an awkward old maid" Janet Reno was the only woman who could "qualify" to be Attorney General back then.

I remember the study of gender pay equity that concluded that career women earned as much as men if, and only if, they never married or had children. Thanks guys, just effing thanks.

I remember the study I read in a Professional journal at my sister's house on why more girls weren't in the computer labs in middle school and high school, and thus in the computer professions 10 years later. For one thing, boys have sharp elbows, and at that age lab hours should probably be doled out by gender. But the thing that really stuck with me is this: all through school K-12, the default student is a boy. I won't go into details, although the author did, but it was...enlightening.

This author is right in what she implies, imo: you start out believing the laws of physics (so to speak) don't apply to you, but enough time and experience, and finally it dawns on you.
