This is a super wonderful commercial with a thought provoking message. There is only one thing that bugs me, there is no statistic as to how the number of women engineers has grown in the past 10, 20, or 50 years. Some quick research has shown that the number of women in engineering programs has increased since 2000, which means there has been progress made. I wish the commercial would have been more positive at the end, perhaps saying something like Since the year 2000, more women have become chemists, biologists, geologists, and doctors than in the 20 years previous or something like that. A positive to show that Hey women, your struggle is showing results and changes. Something to encourage parents to keep on showing their little girls that they can get dirty, that they can climb on rocks and play with animals, that they can use a drill to assemble a rocket. Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps I am just another man who doesnt see the other side of the battle. Or perhaps I am a man who has seen wonderful things happening in this world due to a unique perspective that has spanned two different generations of education. (And yes, this years freshman class could be my children...that equals two generations.)
