substance or appearance?

E 'these days, a heated debate among astronomers, astronomers and colleagues on the central issue that brought the project "She is an Astronomer": the problem of gender and consequences.
will not go into details' cause right now this has resulted in repeated of mail, I 'go into the disputes that have been opened. I'm interested but 'note two points that came out of this exchange of mail.

1) law should be used for a language that is not discriminatory. And the word 'should' and 'appropriate index that is too often dismissed. How

and 'formal and substantial as this?

There are different opinions, and as' it should be. But it 's certain that there is extensive literature on this, and discussions are born by people far more' qualified 'we astronomers and astronomers' competence to deal with the topic. And if there 'a lot of literature about it, there is a reason'. One thing and 'certain: and' a specific point in the world of astronomy, or science in general. He brought a lot more 'broad implications than' branching.

2) seems that among the amateur women are definitely a minority.

What could be the real reason for this phenomenon?

- difference in taste? Yet women also love astronomy, though the percentage of "women" as high as 40% in terms of scholarships / grants / contracts and post-doctoral.

- difference of opportunity '? Sure and 's harder for a girl to stay out the night with the "excuse" to go and see the stars. Yet I read in your experience that we have reported that many di noi sono state incuriosite e interessate a guardare il cielo fin da piccole, e lo hanno fatto. Magari anche incoraggiate dai propri genitori.

Non so dare una risposta ai due punti sopra. Ci pensero'.

Ma quello che mi ha fatto pensare, e non certo con piacere: e' evidente che non sappiamo ancora, davvero dentro, che per parita' si deve intendere sviluppo di ciascun essere umano nella propria diversita' e nella propria individualita'. Non lo dico io, lo leggo ovunque si discuta autorevolmente di questo.

E noi? lontani anni luce !!!!
