应该有更多的女性从事科学和工程吗？
Should there be more women in science and engineering?
摘要：
许多人认为理工科应该有更多的女生，这是不言而喻的。典型的论点包括对妇女的可能好处，对经济的可能好处，以及目前女性代表人数不足的不公平性。然而，这些理由从来没有明确和彻底提出。通过清楚地陈述和审视它们，我们发现它们实际上存在逻辑缺陷。如果前后一致，这些论点并不能无条件地证明在科学学科中招收更多妇女是合理的。特别是，必须考虑到妇女的需要。因此，针对K-12女孩的推广计划必须允许她们自由选择一个领域，而不是试图吸引尽可能多的女孩进入科学学科。这种观念的转变必须伴随着对这些方案的目的和效果的仔细审查。关键词：女学生，高等教育，大学，道德，政策，外展计划，少数民族学生
英文摘要：
Many people hold this truth to be self-evident, that there should be more female students in science and engineering. Typical arguments include possible benefits to women, possible benefits to the economy, and the unfairness of the current female under-representation. However, these justifications are never explicitly and thoroughly presented. Clearly stating and scrutinizing them, we show that they in fact have logical flaws. When made consistent, these arguments do not unconditionally justify enrolling more women in scientific disciplines. In particular, what women want must be taken into account. Outreach programs towards K-12 girls must therefore purport to allow them to choose a field freely, rather than try to draw as many of them to scientific disciplines as possible. This change of mindset must be accompanied by a close examination of the purpose and effects of these programs. Keywords: female students, higher education, university, ethics, policy, outreach programs, minority students
