Everybody knows that women are good at talking to people and washing up, and men are good at building bridges and doing maths, which is why science is definitely not for girls… Well, prepare to be amazed everybody, because according to the European Commission, science actually is a feasible career option for women. In fact, the EC has gone so far as to state that science is “a girl thing”!
Guru was pretty sceptical of these outlandish claims, as presumably many of his readers are now, until he saw an EC video that proves once and for all that science is a girl thing. The video makes it clear that science is for girls because, amazingly, the word “science” is actually spelt with lipstick and labs are filled with sexy men who look exactly like male models, but with glasses. With these kind of incentives Guru predicts that one day a woman (girl?) may even win a Nobel prize, or maybe even two, possibly even in two different fields.
Thanks for sharing this truly idiotic video; what would Maggie Philbin think!?
