I agree with Maria Aranda that the nursing career will always be predominantly female because

of my experience with the classes I am taking through nursing school now and my experiences
visiting doctors offices throughout my life confirms it.

Jacob: Sarah Bronwells theory that gender socialization perpetuates gender disparity in STEM
fields is useful because it sheds light on a probable cause of the issue of gender inequity in
academics.

Though I concede with Moss-Racusin and Johnson that male elementary teachers are seen
differently than those who are female, I still insist that because most elementary teachers are
female, being a male will help them stick out in the hiring process, giving them somewhat of an
advantage.

I agree with Elses discussion that gender bias is an issue in many fields of study, and my
experience in engineering confirms that biases exist.

I agree with Broidos study that claims sexism still exists in the workplace because they included
women who talked about the lack of respect they receive in the workplace, and I concur that
shedding light on this gender inequality is the first step in finding a solution.

Gist: Although many advances towards inequalities have been made, the authors claim that this
inequality is still present; whether it be within majors or even in a particular career. Since this
inequality begins in the college setting, as stated by Else, Moss-Racusin, Bronwell, and Aranda,
its inherent that it will continue into the work setting, as stated by Broidos study.
