« Return to Women in Arms Control: First Admit You Have a Problem

Thank you

Thank you!  As an undergraduate, I never noticed much gender disparity as a polisci student.  Now I'm studying nuclear policy and I can't help but notice I'm one of the only women in the room.  This post really rang true for me--my gender has no bearing on why I'm passionate about nuclear security.  Maybe it does for some; my point is, don't pontificate and generalize about how all women have some inherent maternal instinct through which they will save the world.
