Why is it that women scientists are not seen as scientists, they are seen as secretaries, technicians, imminent mothers, and potential lovers, and are constantly judged on their attractiveness, and at best can expect some courtly politeness which no doubt emphasises their inequality...it would seem that women are assumed to be competent scientists not until they gain the acceptance automatically offered by men....so can a woman not do the same job as a man?....if not better sometimes?....are we not worth giving the chance?

Women scientists and engineers are immediately accepted in the geek community. The real problem is that they self-select out of it early on, usually due to 'math anxiety'.

Of course. A woman can be a formidable scientist. I've known a few.
