um... lets just see if winnie marries a nerd. i doubt it. the simple fact is women want to marry a man with equal or higher education and should earn more money than them. men on the other hand don't care as much as long as the girl is pretty. there are basic evolutionary reasons for this, you won't get rid of it through attempts at social programming.
as for marketing, isn't this push just another form of marketing? the only thing that matters in life is math!! please...its like pretending everyone should have an mba. girls that like math dont need this condescending book, and those that dont..dont either.
as for being pretty, self improvement is a sin? everyone does it, math nerds included, including spending way too much time fretting over academics. its time for people to stop blaming everyone other than themselves. whats this obsession with portraying women as delicate flowers that wilt at the first sign of distress? yet they are also supposedly equal and strong women!!! come on, these messages of default weakness are the problem, its time to tell people to just grow a spine and some self control instead of telling them they are the helpless victim of everything which frankly has sexist roots.
they don't have to be told, its simple evolution. its an advantage for a woman to be attractive. it can bring wealth far beyond what a math degree can bring. there are models making massive amounts of money for photoshoots and "acting". male models make relatively little by comparison. its perfectly rational to leverage beauty into money.
she probably thought she was jennifer garner in alias:P
reasonably attractive blonde female at a nerd convention? really??? really?????
its not james bond!!
good god first rule of real spying is that you use people that blend in and don't get noticed, people you'd walk past and never notice, the average nobody. how the hell did she get to be a producer?
oh wait, i guess she owns a nice pair of knee pads...and the blonde hair doesn't hurt
