Odd how you never hear about the reverse of these studies. Where is the inequality for female garbage collectors, female oil rig workers, etc...

> The idea that women need to be treated as equals is outdated?

Strawman... What OP was arguing is that we dont need to have special programs to cater to one specific group to try and correct some perceived inequality when there is no evidence hat there is any; which you then argue yourself into a hole by suggesting that we need such programs while also stating we don't know if it even exists in the first place.

If anything OP is being more favorable to equality then you by saying that it's been achieved for this field. Show me one college or company that has anything on the books about discriminating against women? Now shoe me how many have special scholarships, and women only classes to garner their attention?

But I guess you're one of those who insist that a fire dept is being misogynistic becuase they refused to lower the psychical standards tests to increase the number of women on the force even though their biological differences would have made them unsuitable.

They hardly need spies to get copies of memos which talk about "eating their own dog food" to employees.
It'd be news if such a memo wasn't forwarded around within seconds of being read.

It's less about wanting to know what is being done right, and more about the morbid curiosity of watching a train wreck happen.

Realistically, you're right about manufacturing capacity of consumer electronics being pretty slim in the US.

Companies would need to switch back to the US en masse to get more companies to open factories. Factories are expensive to build and maintain, having a single large contract come in is often not viable.
