Workplace Salaries: At Last, Women on Top

[4th law of robotics]

31. If?

For starters the fact that more boys drop out of highschool than girls (and this has been both significant and consistent for some time) would suggest we aren't treating boys right in primary education. That is unless you believe males are naturally less intelligent and less able to learn.

Of course all gender based scholarships are set aside for women (or nearly all, you may be able to find one or two that were specified for men as a protest).

And then the NSF funds women only initiatives:

And the education department:

I ask you to consider what would happen if the situation were reversed (not just your opinion which I appreciate, but theorize what the rest of society would do).

Men are more likely to graduate from high school and college leading to competitive advantages in the real world. To address this congress sets aside money to cover programs to ensure more men get in to particularly high earning fields (STEM) and set aside grants for programs geared towards getting men to graduate and then scholarships to help them go to college. Additionally 80-90% of teachers are male and the bulk of students who drop out, are deemed special needs, or require disciplinary actions are females.

Would this lead to a public outcry or passive acceptance?
