First off, as a scientist, yay to more women in science.

Secondly, what liberal feel good claptrap!

Reminds me of the big study on ‘gender bias’ against girls in school. The only evidence of this so called ‘bias’ was that they scored less well on standardized tests.

Despite scoring lower on tests of ‘academic ability’ girls on average got higher grades and more of them went on to college, and most of their teachers were women.

So the “bias” that girls faced in school was mostly FROM women, and was rather ineffective in that despite supposedly lower ‘academic ability’ they got higher grades and more went on to higher education. If that is bias, send some over here!

Public school is mostly unbearable for little boys. They are biologically wired to be independent and hands-on. Fortunately, some teachers are taking the initiative to put variations in the lessons despite the tight federal and state curriculum.

What you actually have evidence of is reverse gender bias. Government education and higher education is hell for boys.

but what do you do with women teachers who hate men and see all little boys as just future male troublemakers.

Of course these are the same ones who don’t want computers doing the teaching in the classroom.
