I don’t want to get too deep into this - but people said the same thing about science and engineering. It’s a little bit sexist to suggest something like that, though I don’t think that was your intention.

The over medication of young boys with add medications begins with teachers reporting behavioral issues to parents and suggesting evaluations.
