Even within this article that supposedly addresses (and even admits) the disparity between educational attention being given boys versus that given girls, this writer serves principally as an advocate of MORE attention to GIRLS!!

But the educational gains of girls haven't come at the expense of boys. Nor has the "liberation" of women come at the expense of men.

And Brutus is an honorable man ...

>>A Business Week report stated recently that MBA programs are one of a few remaining "old boy domains," but it failed to mention the comparable underrepresentation of women in computer and information science, technology and engineering courses and careers. Nor did it mention that women's participation in computer science courses actually has been declining for the past 20 years. <<

Oddly enough, women are totally able to be in those areas of inquiry, but choose not to go. No one is complaining that the women trying to be MBAs (computer scientists, or engineers) are being shut out. Why? Because they are not shut out, they are being recruited. Good money is being spent trying to get women into those fields. LOTS OF MONEY! Maybe money that could be spent on actually educating someone. Equality of opportunity is great. Equality of outcome is silly (and wasteful).
