"Good grief" said Charlie Brown, I never knew it was so bad!
Consider this syllogism:
All women look good in black,
And judges wear black robes,
Therefor all girls should go to law school and become judges.
According to wicki, less than a third of all judges in the United States are women. There is a lot wrong with this whole subject on many different levels. I thought people went into chemistry/science because of an innate desire to understand the workings of nature. I didn't know it was color-coordinated!

At the DCHAS technical sessions today, the person from the University of California system reported that one of the big lessons learned from their recent PPE program rollout was the importance of having labcoats fitted for female wearing. Their experience is that many new hazards were created by poorly fitting labcoats and eye protection and a good program has to fit the equipment to the person wearing it.
