In light of some past articles on diversity, SoylentNews: "How to Get Girls Into Coding" and SoylentNews: "Google to Release Diversity Data About its Workforce" This CNN article caught my attention.
Princess Free Zone offers empowering T-shirts with images such as dinosaurs, skateboards and soccer balls. "Kids should not have to be brave to wear the things they like," says founder Michele Yulo.
[...] "Girl clothes without the girly" is the mantra behind Girls Will Be, which includes longer shorts and T-shirts (no pink ones!) with images that seek to break gender stereotypes.
[...] The company buddingSTEM offers a line of girls' clothes celebrating girls' interests in science, engineering, technology and math.
Please, browse the photos. They are full of lovely little girls, minus what I call the "silly frilly" stuff. You might even click some links, and find something fitting for the young lady in your life!
Some might complain that it's a very small start - but the longest journey begins with a single step. Each of these startups seems to be doing pretty much what I've called for - giving the girls what THEY want, rather then telling them what they should want.

I have the answer to this one.
Where might one find a good husband? You don't want too much competition. You want men who can support a family. Oh, hey, look at mechanical engineering and electrical engineering! Obviously, if the goal is to be a housewife, you need to be in engineering classes. You'll need to qualify for admission. Obviously you'll want to be at a good school. You'll need to do well enough so that you don't get kicked out before you find a nice husband.
So yes, STEM is for boys. It's lots of cute boys that are lonely. STEM is boys, boys, boys... and that makes it the best place for a girl. Hit the books!
