Question How come I almost can't find any female Orbinauts?

That's 'Astronaut', not 'Orbinaut'

Don't split hairs. We've all been to space

The organization "Women in Games Jobs" has just published a statistic, that less women work in the computer game industry (6%) than disabled people (7%).

And that despite Asperger patients making great careers now in the software industry as natural born debuggers.

That would have made her a wannabe wannabe-astronaut. :lol:

As for women in Science, even though the medical frontier is as much time consuming and science-heavy, including statistics, as in many other fields, the majority of lecturers in my med school are now female, although, yet again, the majority of researchers are still male. I mean I still can't fathom why, as they're capable to go pregnant and have children while in the busy times of residency, that many of the women still don't like the choice of a much more lenient lifestyle of being a biomedical researcher, well I have to let the fundamental difference in psychology of male and female to explain this.

But they have mostly female employees at the kindergarten, mostly female teachers.

A cultural problem too. Those are just considered more feminine jobs, especially kindergarten teachers. Strangely it reverses in higher level education. I blame it on the "it's got to do with kids, clearly women must be better at it"-paradigm.

Switzerland is trying to fight the tendency, and failing. If you want a kick-ass job security in Switzerland as a man, do kindergarten teacher. Almost every kindergarten in the country will tear out and arm and a leg to get you, because the defficiency of male teachers in Kindergarten and primary school is being noticed.

A guy singing nursery rimes to a group of 4 and 5 yro. Is just creepy.

You can also sing them the good old folk songs. It is just that you should leave out the inofficial stancas. :lol: "Barnacle Bill" in that context counts as "100% inofficial".

Actually, I am forgetting Raffi. I withdraw my previous statement.

That must be why my dad didn't like me watching this guy when I was little:

How come I almost can't find any children-suitable folk song?

 

[C3PO]

How come I almost can't find any children-suitable folk song?

Because the boundaries of "children-suitable' has changed massively since most of them were written.

For some songs, I doubt they had been even suitable for adults. :lol:

When one RCT is not enough I guess.

Because we're all geeks ( no offense) and girls don't want to be associated with geeks

Yep, that has the ring of painful truth to it.

Why have I been lurking and not participating much? I've been busy co-leading a guild on SWTOR and doing ops/raids 6 nights a week.

Translation please? SWTOR?

The Orbiter Community doesn't only include forums or large groups.There are plenty of Orbinauts who discuss their latest re-entry failure in their own little circle of friends, just as any with any game (or really any activity)

Exactly. The number of Orbinauts active on the Forums is mostly confined to English speaking people, and a lot tend to be North American. The forums is also not easy enough to find for someone new to Orbiter; there are still links out there on defunct Orbiter pages that talk about the M6 forums.

The fundamental issue here is:

NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE FINDING ORBITER!!!

I spent almost two years as the only male cashier at one of the largest grocery stores in the region. Apparently management thought that a man couldn't handle being polite with customers, but I had no problem. A lot of these jobs can be done just as well by a guy, but the stereotype persists.

Google?

Google?

Sigh, yes thankyou...

O-F is on the first page that you see when you Google "Orbiter"
