lying Women's Studies Academics who run cover for the whole show and justify keeping the constantly increasing taxpayer dollars coming. Something like what this article is doing.

The Women's Studies creeps are the poorest excuses for human beings I've ever encountered. I have the misfortune to know one in the neighborhood. In her view, every woman is a victim of every man. How bleeped up is that?

One looks in vain in Ms. Mead's report for any indication that anyone is undermining girls. She seems to think that concern for boys means shortchanging girls. But it does not--because education is not a zero sum game.

If your primary goal is to remedy past discrimination, then everything becomes a zero-sum game.

I respectfully disagree. It is a good thing to remedy past discrimination.

I guess I see it as, "a high tides raises all boats."

That's not zero-sum.
