Our bias (偏见) toward girls, either from families or from schools, is so rooted in our culture that we often don't even recognize it. Although the situation has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years, there is still a sense, that girls aren't as good at math, for instance, even though there is almost no evidence to support such a belief.
It is important that as a society we deal with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making efforts to break them, we are limiting the potentials of our youth, both male and female. Providing the necessary resources, exposure, and encouragement would help young women understand that their gender shouldn't determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make them less feminine.
文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。由于受传统偏见的影响,女孩最终进入STEM(科学、技术、工程、数学)领域的人数不多,直接导致了这些领域中男女比例失衡。作者呼吁,让更多的女性参与到STEM领域中去。
