The BBC is reporting that the government is concerned about gender stereotyping on vocational training courses - ie. not enough men are on hairdressing courses. Well, not enough women are in IT. Good to know, then, that the graduating class in philosophy that I sat with in brown robes on Monday had an 8:6 female:male ratio. I was trying to find PZ Myers’ blog post about the gender ratio in his graduate level biology classes but ended up finding a post about gender ratio in butterflies instead. I shall leave the psychoanalysis of this piece of serendipitous/incompetent Googling to your imagination.
