Girl power was quite apparent at the Mountain View headquarters of search engine giant Google last week, as officials got ready to announce the winner of its first global science fair - Nine of the fifteen quarter finalists were girls! It therefore, should come as no surprise that the winners in each of the three categories were also . . . . Girls!

          Girls rule and they have the ability to do just as much as a boy can!

            Girls have the potentional to be who they want to be. I'm happy about it but why are girls considered people who don't really like science and like writing. I like writing but I also like science. Girls should be judged the same as boys. It's not weird for a girl to do science or a girl that wins a science competion.

                I'm definitely glad for these girls. It seems like their projects were amazing, and they probably did deserve to win. But I don't get why we have to bring so much attention to the fact that they're girls. What's the point? I mean they should be recognized by their achievements, not their gender. Personally, I don't think science is a boy thing (it's actually my favorite subject, though it really wouldn't make a difference if I did think it was a boy thing), but jobs involving STEM happen to be male-dominated. I really don't get why we encourage girls to do "boy" things, but we don't encourage boys to do "girl". We urge girls to go into STEM, but we don't urge boys to become teachers or nurses. It's not fair to the guys. In fact, girls who do "boy" things are applauded, but boys who do "girl" things are frowned upon. Just look at bronies. Of course, there's nothing wrong with encouraging girls to get into STEM, but it's not fair if we don't encourage boys to become teachers or nurses. Again, these girls were amazing, and I think the things they did were great. But what I don't think is great is the fact that their gender is the main focus of this article. Especially since this kind of applause wouldn't be given to boys who were doing a "girl" thing.

                  Girl Power is kicking in! Boys watch out. BTW, Boy Power is getting lame, find a new name like Boy...something I don't know!

                    How is Boy Power getting lame? And um, why do boys have to find a new name just because of your command? Boys AND girls, ALL of them, will shape this generation, so don't be unfair to the other gender.. (My opinion :D) Argue if you please :)

                      Well, it is scientifically proven on average, boys are smarter than girls. It says that taller people are most likely to be smarter than shorter people, and boys just happen to be taller. But really, on average, boys are smarter.

                        Exactly! But whenever I tell people that, they don't believe me...

                          Well, it depends. If it is a girl, then she doesn't want to face facts she doesn't agree with, and if it is a boy, well, I dunno. But anyway, tell them to look it up on Google. It should help. :D

                            Thanks :). And also, If it's a boy and he doesn't believe me (or bother to look it up), then I personally would blame it on feminist brainwashing. But who knows...
