He said what ?

I started a conversation with a male friend of mine about my current woman studies course and how it has more involvement with technology and woman of the world now. He decided to chuckle back and say "Yes, that is because woman are not as adapted as us males are to the worlds technology."

I found this almost comical to see how ignorant people can be. Especially a male to a woman. 

THE WHOLE POINT OF THE COURSE IS TO SHOW THAT WOMAN CAN DO JUST AS MUCH AS MEN CAN. Which is very true !

Maybe my friend should join my class and say that out loud. I'd love to hear a bunch of girls pounce on that statement, especially my professor. As for that, have a good day. And if your a little offended by what was said. Do not worry, I was too. 

For too long of a time woman have been shunned by man. "Anything a man can do, we can do just as well." I would say if not better but I rather not shun them back. The lack of woman in the fields such as mathematics, technology, and science are just one a the few ways men still believe they dominate. Woman like Marie Skłodowska-Curie give us hope and faith that we can succeed and outshine man just as they have done to us. Her success gives me hope as a environmental science major to keep pushing the limits and expanding borders to reach my goals. No man will shun me. I will succeed in my field of study.
