Just goes to show that reality is not politically correct

Not a ppd, but i love how they specifically set up an event to prove once and for all that women belong in stem field and can excel in them and then a guy still beat all of them, even with the entire point of the thing against him xD

EDF said that while its Pretty Curious programme is still aimed at girls

Pretty Curious

aimed at girls

"Congratulations to the winner - but I'd love to hear from EDF how the winning solution meets their stated aim for the competition," said computer scientist Dr Sue Black OBE.

"It is taking me a bit of time to work out how this result will change girls' perceptions of Stem."

Maybe it will teach them that they shouldn't expect to have things handed to them and they need to be able to compete on a level playing field.

A smart fridge was a runner up? A fridge for the bedroom?

"It was a childrens competition"

"YA and Homer beat the snot out of them"

Not really a PPD.

How is this PPD?

Someone thought having a competition called Pretty Curious with a general subject of In the Bedroom for children between the ages of 11-16 was a good idea? And further, they we're surprised a boy was the most curious in the bedroom?

Oh no, these girls might realize that STEM is COMPETITIVE. Oh dear lord not that, not competition!

"EDF Energy have failed to understand both the nature of the problem [of women in Stem] and the negative impacts that their publicity stunt may well have on girls who took part with genuine enthusiasm and excitement."

All it takes is a half assed idea to win these things. The girls actually took time and thought of reasonable items that would probably be used.

Sure smart fridges and sleep monitors have all ready been made available. But still, it's kind of absurd that that something with little to no practical applications beat those out.

Plus this isn't a PPD this just harms humanity.

Does he identify as a girl or something?

Nobody cares when a woman wins. That's why we gave Ron Swanson the Dorothy Everytime Smurf Girl Trophy for Excellence in Female Stuff.

This was a co-ed competition.
