And the reply by my sister (software engineer, aged 30):

...except she doesn't acheive her dream. She shelves physics for the standard pink little girl ballerina/figure skater dream.

Why would any woman want to do math when you can dance around in a little skirt and people throw flowers at you? Why would anyone spend the money to take their preteen girl to a movie where the main character wants to do hard science? If she likes physics, no one will want to marry her! Might as well just have left her on the rocky shoals at birth.

While I accept that the average math/logic abilities of women is below the average for men, I'm still disgusted at the subtle and continuous ways society continues to preach to girls--even girls of above average ability--that it's better to avoid science altogether.
Unless you want to be a pediatrician; they're sorta maternal figures.
Is your sister friends with the President of Harvard?
