Equity feminism
Main goal was to create equity between males and females in social matters and legal matters. If I am not misinterpreting, the thought of equaling out the ratio would seem as a solution. I would have to disagree with that thought, for even though females had an equal ratio to males in professions, the females were still taught the same basic gendered bias that men are taught. The gendered bias guidelines still apply to the female in any profession. Chapter 1 in The Gender and Science Reader reminded me of the types of feminism, mostly equity feminism. I see the ratios and acknowledge how women’s self-confidence becomes an issue. Could this be the engineering and science fields are filled with gender bias and the patriarchy implementations? I would ponder if the solution isn’t equity feminism with the binaries but to question and challenge the existing base of all fields, theories, patriarchies, use feminist theory.

Added Sections
Constraints on women throughout the eras have kept women in the Private Sphere and out of the Public Sphere. Constraints that Schiebinger< a professor at Stanford University and a leading international authority on gender and science > mentions in Has Feminism Changed Science: gendered ads, gendered toy manufacturers, gendered computer programs and discrimination. She concludes that that society places certain expectations on a being from the moment the sex of the child is determined giving more social benefits to males than females, “… their performance judged by different standards than men’s, having to work harder to have their work valued as highly as a man’s> Chapter 3 page 61  >. references http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/2013/pdf/tab2-2.pdf the link for the table of statistics of graduating and major females and males in engineering. Notes I edited my section so it could have the right reference format. I edited my added section after Evangelina peer edited and made suggestions. I added a section to the page as causes of sex inequalities. I edited again my additions to be more subjective and try not to not add bias phrases. Added more to the page under equity feminism. Added to the section causes of sex inequalities with the interview of Buffet. Having trouble with trying to add the references, I think I figured it out because the red warning is gone but all my references are not appearing. I find it curious how my hyperlink to feminism says page does not exist when I look up the page and it does exists. Added more hyperlinks to my work on the page equity feminism. I edited my work after my partner edited it. It was good, they catch the mistakes and awkward phrases that I didn't see.
 * This section was added to the equity feminist page and still persist on the webpage:To take the matter of equity Feminism a step further, Londa Schiebinger- a professor at the Stanford University, demonstrates how equity feminism persist throughout history but has not improved to reach its main goal of equality. She provides statistics that illustrate how women are the minority and on unequal grounds as men. She explains in Has Feminism Changed Science, how women are placed, “ in what is known as soft science”  fields that are carry less prestige and less money while the men are involved mostly in, “in the three big  scientific fields…chemistry, medical science, and engineering[in 1920’s and 1930’s]”.
 * Another addition: This does not imply that there are no women in the more prestige fields but just illustrates that men are more abundant thus showing the disproportion. The National Science Foundation reported in 2010 that while the enrollment of females in an undergraduate institution was greater than their male counterparts - 1,724,222 women versus 1,484,652 males enrolled - upon reaching the doctoral levels, the reverse was true, with 11,102 males and 9,648 females. The statistics indicate while women are participating in the sciences, parity is not achieved between the two genders. According to the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, “As of last year, America ranked 27th out of 37 developed countries for women’s labor force participation”.  CNN Money states that there has been a hold on the rise of women’s participation in the work force giving the statistics of , “ in 1950…37% of women ages 25-54 participated in the labor force…74% by 1990…Today, still only 74% of women are active in the U.S. workforce…” “ between 1982 and 1989 more than 20percent of all women working in science and engineering left their jobs ”.

 * Another addition: Females start participating in the science field but there is not enough to reach even near to equality. According to the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, “As of last year, America ranked 27th out of 37 developed countries for women’s labor force participation”. CNN Money states that there has been a hold on the rise of women’s participation in the work force giving the statistics of , “ in 1950…37% of women ages 25-54 participated in the labor force…74% by 1990…Today, still only 74% of women are active in the U.S. workforce…” Scheibinger states“ between 1982 and 1989 more than 20percent of all women working in science and engineering left their jobs."
 * Another addition: Warren Buffet in his interview announces, “until recently structurally women were held back, not getting a totally 50 50 shape. Second problem, whether women believed it when they got… brainwashed”. Buffet  uses Katherine Grahm the first female CEO of fortune 500 of  Washington Post Company, that although she was successful she had in mind that women were not as good as men in business, “she never got over it. Shows how strong a message can be” . The self image given to a female by society places restraints and creates a gap between males and females, thus creating the disproportion and inequality amongst them.

Peer Edits by Evangelina Ruiz To take the matter of equity feminism (hyperlink equity feminism) a step further, Schiebinger- a professor at the Stanford University, demonstrates how equity feminism persists throughout history is clearly shown but has yet not improved to' reached its main goal of equality. ''Schiebinger does not imply that women do not have prestigious careers, but rather that more men than women pursue higher paying and more respected career, thus causing a disproportion. Currently, more females enter engineering and science degree programs, but fewer females than males graduate and work in their respective field.'' Take a look at the Statistics gathered by National Science Foundation in 2010 the enrollment of females of first time first year undergraduates was 1,724,222 while the males was 1,484, 652 as you can see in the “table” [7] but reaching the doctoral degree levels the percentage is as follows: females 9,468 in 2010 and males 11, 102 in 2010.

Note: I color coated my edits on a Word document but Wikipedia does not have colored fonts :( Sorry if my edits are difficult to read. I Can send you the word document if you'd like! Edits that I suggested or actually made are italicized and words/ phrases that should be removed are bold. I am going to send you the word document via email. I just realized how strange these edits look on Wikipedia.

Note [1] My biggest suggestion is to avoid using personal pronouns like "you" just so you can achieve a more professional tone [2] Your italicized texts are phrases I found to be a little awkward, and my suggestions are bolded after. [3] Also, you hyperlinked "table" but it doesn't lead to a relevant table.
