No, that's not what I said.  We are not all equal.  There are gender
differences.  Two separate statements.

I don't agree with Roger, we're not all equal-at least not in innate
ability, and there are gender differences (thankfully).  David Love

David, you make it sound as if the differences in innate ability are due =
to
gender differences. Innate ability has nothing to do with gender. I =
agree
with Jeanne that women are intimidated not to try as children because  =
the
assumptions society forces on them makes it so difficult to succeed. =
There
are just as many women as men out there that can be a complete =
technician.
There are some physical differences such as upper body strength and =
average
size but they have nothing to do with whether or not a person can figure =
out
the adjustments on a piano action or voice a hammer. My mother was 17 =
when
she entered UC Berkeley and graduated in three years, Phi Beta Kappa, a =
3.95
grade average. She wanted to be an engineer but that was not allowed in
1939. My Aunt Carol was the first woman to be admitted to the med school =
she
went to and became a physician in 1952. I have heard complaints of the
difficulty to get an education as a piano technician, particularly for
women. I assume this to be because it is a male dominated mentor sort of
education system that makes assumptions about the innate ability of =
women
and what they can or cannot do. Hey, get me a cup of coffee.
