Amber, I agree with much of what you say, except the technology piece.
Girls have been systematically programmed not to like technology, as they
were science and math some years ago. These are high paying career paths
and girls, especially minority girls are already at the bottom when it
comes to high paying positions in these fields. We need to let them know
that it is acceptible to be a "technology genius" Actually, it's fun that
girls are missing out on the enjoyment and the money.
