Women: They Have Their Agency

President Cecil O. Samuelson addresses the issue of women in the hard sciences directly. Women should be allowed to choose what they want, in all aspects of their lives. Women's decisions should not be chosen by others; their agency is their own, not for others whims or desires. Families and society should cultivate a sense of opportunity for women. Women should feel as though they can accomplish anything they desire, whether it is to be a rocket scientist, a biologist, or a stay-at-home mother. Society should not enact extreme policies or laws to push women into certain fields. Paul De Palma and Senator Ron Wyden, although having good intentions, are pushing an agenda that is not their own. Let women make their own decision.
