Mmmm... Well, as my wife is quite intelegent, ( and as I priviously
mentoined and Engineer ), she does seem to think differently.  Also, she is
VERY critical if someone doesn't atteck a problem in exacly the same way
she does.

This is also true from the observations of my wife.  But, she also very
good with hands on type stuff.  She is a top notch programmer, and better
at complicated Mathimatics than I am.

But I seem to grasp physics thories quicker than she does.

Mmmm... Interesting observation.

This I have to dissagree with.  I only know 2 Women engineers.  One ( not
my wife, the other one ) has a PE.  Both are extremly intelligent.  Both
could contribute a lot to any field of science.

Yes, my wife knows this all too well.  It is a real strugle for her at
times, because of the attitude of some idiot men.

Personally, I think the world needs more women in engineering and science,
especilly ones like Electrical Enginnering and physics that are mostly
dominated be men.

One nice thing about being married to an engineer, is that she really takes
interest and fascination in my hobbies.  Being as geeky as some are, I'm
glad.
