Like I said in another recent post, there's reasons I don't usually reveal my gender in a science context, and now the Discovery Channel has joined those reasons.

(Edited to the correct name of the channel: Discovery Channel. Not to be confused with Discover Magazine.)

FWIW I personally feel that children are so indoctrinated to gender stereotypes that most programs teaching children to bridge the stereotypes can only do good. For example, I support efforts to teach middle school girls more math, science, technology, and engineering, since studies show that in middle school most girls "turn off" to the STEM disciplines.
