I theorize that women believe that the power of social conditioning can alter reality is due to the fact that for them, it is mostly true.
"Women need to be made engineers so that young girls will be inspired to become engineers!"
You may get a few more women "engineers" with social conditioning and government quotas, but that is only an illusion if women are not fit to be engineers. But for the feminist advocates, the title itself means that the woman is an engineer by title alone.
