Increasingly many nations are beginning to rise to the standards of innovation established by the western world. In an attempt to help the US stay on top, Senator Wyden
explains how Title IX
encourages more women into technological fields. However, with statements like "Women represent a largely untapped resource," and "Title IX has yet to be applied
stringently enough" (emphasis added) it becomes clear that our government cheerleaders are actually political juggernauts forcing women to technology. Yes women are capable; yes they have much to contribute to the advancement of technology; and yes there still exists discrimination in the technical realm. But can we really coerce women into these disciplines?
Since women are being forced into men-dominated careers, why aren't men forced into women-dominated careers? It only seems logical and fair. This would better help "balance" the gender distribution. In the end, it is best for everyone to choose a career that they are good at and enjoy.
