So if you think about it, it hasn't been that long since then so you shouldn't be shocked if the statistics show a higher percentage of men acheiving "academic breakthroughs" than woman. It'll be a long time before the world is fully equal.
Thats not saying that woman don't get high ranking jobs, just that there are still people that are stuck in that ancient mind set

Dude, you must be living in a different world.
From where I am standing, there are women scientsist everywhere. Yet, all breakthroughs are made by men. We are talking about this year 2003. Not 1800s
