Not exactly worded for people with less-than-stellar literacy (raises hand). It translates, in my humble opinion thus: "work hard. Get your a** up and get it done".

Being a plant worker most of my life. I have seen females work in male dominate jobs. With a little help in certain areas females carry their fare share of the load they can carry. Most of the females were in Operations, engineering, warehouse and secretary areas. I trained 2 ladies to weld and one to be a millwright. If they could do the job pass the test pick up 50 lbs they got the job. I personally think everybody should be given the opportunity to work high paying jobs. Stem jobs are also equal opportunity jobs. Promotions are hard to get because of the way some companies think. I've seen idiots get promoted because the others worked hard and cared about their job. It's hard out there. A person should get all the qualifications they can get to use that in interviews.

I'm in a majority-female non-stem office. In New York, because of what they have to pay for salaries here, EVERYBODY has to prove themselves. We've advanced pretty much 50-50 by gender, and fell by the wayside 50-50 also.

There are less women in STEM positions.
