From: [name removed] [email removed] Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 1:56 PM To: [email removed] I think women do not want to get into computer science field is becuase they think that they are not good in math and physic. Moreover, women do not have determination like men and they also hate failing. I think the main reason why women dont' like computer science is becuase they dont' want to wear glasses becuase it would make them look ugly. I have a friend who wanted to go for computer science when you first came to Umass but after taking a physic class and she didn't do well in that class so she changed her major. Moreover, her mother said that computer science is not suitable for her because if she wants to study computer science then she has to study harder. For a girl, study is important but keeping herself young and pretty is more important so if they study alot then they won't have to time to keep themselves in shape. Therefore, girls do not want to go into computer science becuase it gonna change their appearances.
