This is also the main reason behind auto theft. People should offer their cars for sale at all times and reduce the cost of their cars to a point low enough to discourage theft. Instead, we have lengthy (and costly!) prosecutions of car thieves. When will auto-havers ever learn? Probably not soon.

Except for all those aptitude tests showing that males are just better at spatial reasoning and higher math then women. Granting that the distributions overlap all you have to do is assume Engineers come from the tails of the distribution and you will naturally have male dominated fields.

Is this supposed to be a specimen of masculine excellence in mathematical reasoning?

If men needed a culture of approval and acceptance and someone to remind them whenever possible that they are wanted and welcome, and then and only then could they program if they wanted to, then they'd be just like women.

Whether men do need a culture of approval we'll never know, because they get that approval frequently...from other men.

Normally, all cars are diaxles. But these guys have created a stretch limo so long and stretchy that when a few dozen of them are wrapped around one another in a parking lot, and the front of one is sticking out, it looks like it's a free-standing monoaxle.

If there are independent monoaxle vehicles, then gasoline is a homogeneous liquid. Otherwise, according to Maxwell's equations, it's a bunch of tiny pebbles.
