:It could very well be a disinclination toward risk-taking, such as the kind inherent in a scientific career that could end up being largely wasted if one pursues theories that ultimately turn out to be fatally flawed. Statistically, women have shown a tendency to be risk averse in other fields, such as finance; often they will put their money into low-risk investments rather than pursuing opportunities for great wealth. That is probably a large part of the reason why there aren't many female captains of industry. [[User:Tisane|Tisane]] 17:07, 14 July 2010 (EDT)

Be everyone being equal, I meant that everyone is ''born'' equal. However, that equality can (and often does) change, through social and economic conditions, and, more importantly, personal initiative. If a woman (or a man, for that matter) doesn't take the effort to become a scientist, that is entirely their fault. However, that doesn't change the fact that recently women have taken a larger role in the scientific field.--[[User:Jaddriscoll|Jaddriscoll]]
