The GoPro, the Polaroid Cube, and why there aren't more women in engineering (victoriakirst.com)

The argument of "build dollhouses instead of rockets" more or less has the problem of rockets being rather impressive feats of engineering and somewhat easy to understand the basics of. A dollhouse is kind of uncomplicated in contrast, we have had houses and such for centuries. Also I don't feel like that hair is a feat of engineering, but that's in the eye of the engineer here.

Perhaps I missed the point. I also will note, I am kind of a girl (I was born a boy).
