Bah! women prefer hard science careers, rather than soldering thingies together

I mean the smart ones, to bake babies, even the mentally impaired can do

Not audio, but diy/hacking:

The Hacktory | Repurposing Technology, Making Art
(I think this is run by a woman and often has workshops and events encouraging women to get involved at an early age)

Actually, I considered the comment more 'challenging' than really 'provocative'. We discuss very many topics freely and have often quite different opinions. Otherwise life would be rather dull, isn't it? If I had considered the comment 'offending', the discussion would have remained private.
Several DIY guys on this forum been very helpful in providing interesting links to help me develop my point.
Like if making babies were something funnier....
OK, thinking about that, you may have a point there
Having a baby is one of the biggest and most important things a person can do but, do you think it is rewarding in the same way as DIY? I mean, you spent thousands of hours learning and learning, trying and failing, until then after some years you reach a point where you say "see that? I've build it. And I know how it works. And I know how to fix it in case it fails. It's my very own baby tailored to my own specs and requirements".
You cannot say you took a relevant part in having your baby. You have sex (which it's objective quality isn't related in anyway to the resulting creature), and wait some time to get it. It's not rocket science. DIY is. That's why I can't see it will not make you proud of yourself in the same way.
Another different matter is rising a child. You don't even need to have a baby to experience that.
As to be expected: this thread is worthless without pics...

I guess you are right..
That is hilarious, political correctness gone mad.
Reminds me of the Clarkson comment where he commented on how the fleet of British nuclear submarines had been deemed unsafe. .....probably because they didn't have wheelchair access!
I'm here to inform you that things have changed. My wife insists on taking out the garbage. To this day, I still don't know why (but I don't complain about it).
Something which always completely baffles us in Europe is why married people in North America make such a fuss about who takes the garbage out - it seems to be a major feature of every marriage guidance self-help book. Could someone explain this to a mere Englishman? Have I missed some cultural issue, or technological issue, which is not relevant to this side of the Atlantic?cogitech said:
Ask her what WIFE stands for.
When she gives up, tell her it's Washing, Ironing, Food and Entertainment.
Then run like hell....
