Here you can post your views which are considered "politicly incorrect."<br><br>My first politicly incorrect question is, "Are women retarded when it comes to the electronic computer."<br><br>I am sorry if I offend the 1% of women who actually understand computers, but the facts show that in the computer industry women seem to play a very small part. Studies show that young girls seem to be really interested in computers and technology, but somewhere in there teens it becomes "uncool." In other sciences women seem to play large parts, but for some reason computers are for boys. Sure you may argue that many women use computers every day, and that is very true, but tell your girlfriend all of the "cool" features of your new PC and you will quickly bore her. So is there something in the slightly smaller female brain that just can not comprehend the computer, or is it our culture. If it is our culture, where women are taking over every other job and hobbie that was formorly male only. Why are they not taking over the computer industry? Does the female genome hold the answer to this question? Maybe breasts get in the way of the keyboard, thus making it uncomfortable and undesireable for women to sit at a computer for long periods at a time? Do men want women in the computer industry? Is it the men who are keeping them away? Who knows?
