I'm not saying they are solely to blame for the Wiki-How site that instructs girls to be smart without being nerdy, but something in our culture is causing girls to tune out math and science. I bring up "The Big Bang Theory" and lump it in with Kim Kardashian because both send a strong message to impressionable girls - and to the rest of us. Poor Bernadette is stuck with Howard, a man Penny once described as "disgusting." And Amy? Well. And she continually wins the sexy, brilliant male nerd: Leonard Hofstadter.

Penny, a community college dropout, is incurious and kinda, well, dippy. I don't think many little girls clamor to be like Amy or Bernadette. And when I say quirky, I don't mean like the brainy women on "The Big Bang Theory." Goldie, the doll who rules the GoldieBlox world, isn't beautiful like Princess Anna, not sexy like Barbie, but brainy, curious and quirky, like Sterling herself. And I pictured this old white man in a lab coat with no friends." "I thought it was a boys-only club for geniuses. "Growing up as a little girl, I certainly had no interest in becoming a scientist or mathematician or engineer," Sterling said. It's why Sterling created her toy company, GoldieBlox.

Sterling and I talked about how to persuade more girls to skip the Kim/princess route and revel in their natural curiosity. If Kim Kardashian really is smart, then why is her husband, music mogul Kanye West, now supposedly controlling her empire? Even if that's not true, the narrative exists and it says something about how girls may, in their heart of hearts, answer that question. In America, nobody's boyfriend wants them to be smarter than he is, and no one wants to admit it."Ĭue the tabloids. Why is it, she wonders, when girls reach the age of 6, brains take a back seat to beauty even if they have both? "If it's your professor or employer, I guess you want to be smart," Pollack said.

Pollack, as a Yale physics pioneer, isn't speaking to us from the grave, but from the heart. Why is that even a question? Why isn't it assumed that they can be both? This isn't a critique of your question, because that question is the story of my life." She had this to say: "First of all, that the question would even be asked - I can see all the anxiety that it poses. So, again, how would you answer - sexy or smart?Įileen Pollack, who was one of the first women to earn a bachelor's degree in physics from Yale, is writing a book called "The Only Woman in the Room: Why Science Is Still a Boy's Club." It aims to expose factors that impact women's access to careers in science, technology, engineering and math - the fields known collectively as STEM. She is sending them a decidedly different kind of message. But it's not like Kim goes around urging little girls to use their brains.

She turned a sex tape into a hit reality TV show. It wasn't Kim's brain that launched the Kardashian empire.
