The latest gender study shows girls feel they are not as smart as boys in math by the time they are 6-years of age. But, how does this affect the choices women make when going to college and their careers? And, what if a boy wants to go into a stereo-typical nurturing field like nursing? How are they treated by society?

Associate professor of sociology from Westminster College, Dr. Kristjane Nordmeyer www.westminstercollege.edu discusses these issues with host Heather Kelly.
