That's where you see class gender ratios change, and that's what pushes women out of science and computer careers. That has nothing to do with an interest in science fiction, which doesn't really have math skills as a prerequisite.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812690301793802818noreply@blogger.com
