I've recently read many things which prompt me to ask: 
How many succesful women software engineers, mathematicians,
and so on were encouraged as children by their *fathers* in
maths and sciences?  It seems like a lot.  I know my father,
although a literary type, expressed a lot of admiration when
I could do any math or physics, and that encouraged me.
