Girls doing engineering deserve a little respect

Finicky Feline explains why girls studying engineering are not hot and sexy:

How to wear short skirts when we’re dismantling a car engine? Sure chao geng wan. How to wear makeup when we’re cutting wood in the workshops? How to have nice long nails when we’re forever using our hands to build clever little gadgets like robots to clean the hulls of ships or fishing rods for quadriplegics? Give us a little respect. We may not be hot and sexy, but we’re trying to save the world.

Warning: incomprehensible theorems and equations inside, but other than that, an enjoyable read!

If I started respecting you by virtue of your career options, should I respect the jobless less? I am sure female engineers deserve some slack, respect is another thing altogether

You do not have to wear short skirts, have nice nails or having make up to look attractive. The attitude counts more than anything. With nice way of talking, having good language and with good attitude, wow!, you are the best. Many girls dont have these qualities even though they look nice.

I see many men (humans) without dress, many dresses, inside, with no men

You must be a female. Males are visual animals who are easily conned by "feminine" wiles. So, very few of them will agree with you.
