In reply to the discussion: Workplace Salaries: At Last, Women on Top [View all]4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)36. Thank you.
I agree entirely.
And for those who don't care or who want boys to fail, somehow believing it to be a just punishment for what men in the past have done, they should realize this is counterproductive.
A nation that fails to properly utilize one half of it's human potential is a nation that will not be innovative, will not have a growing economy, and ultimately will fail to advance.
So women here may indeed do better relative to males by continuing down this path. But the entire country will do worse relative to those that don't treat males as 2nd class citizens or a nuisance that must be dealt with. Women will end up running a country that isn't worth having. Like Afghanistan but in reverse.

If "we" are providing women with gender based academic assistance, it should stop.

I said "if" because I don't really know what is out there, assistance-wise, for girls vs. boys.
