It's not "perception". It's the rampant sexual harassment, "dudebro" 
culture, etc.  It takes a strong person to work in an industry that 
demonstratedly treats them like second class citizens.

If you've got an issue with Lego promoting women in STEM fields, ya'll 
should probably go sit in the corner until you've come to grips with the 
fact that you've got a dramatic flaw in your perception of reality.

Five bucks says all or most of them were denigrated or humiliated in some

If I were you, I'd go back to shouting at clouds and chasing kids off your 
lawn.
