More Female Applicants Miss Out As Schools Try To Maintain Gender Equilibrium

[sandy19731]

just had to replace the engine in my wifes car. I bought a rebuilt crate engine and changed it myself. I have never been to school for that kind of stuff but I''''m pretty good at it. I know what every peice is and what it does and why its their. I have never met a women with those skills. I did meet a girl one time who could changed her cars oil. I married her.

You didn''t have to tell us you didn''t go to school, we could tell. Two mispellings(wifes for wife''s, peice for piece) , two wrong words used (their for there, changed for change), and your grammar is pretty bad, too. So, what''s your point?

I am not for that s e x i s t talk as not every womao is a baby machine. So all I Heard'' Barbara you can''t''or ''Barbara that is not becoming/ladylike'' I hated it. And yes my bithname is Barbara. I told that mormon foster mother to take a hike.So a gent has a problem with women..I have a problem with men who think they are god''s gift to the world and live that lie. It may surprise you that males need to learn clean up their mess,cook their meal,wash their clothes,in stort as I say the man I care about when he whines...shut it..I do to..been toghether 24 years as room mates..There are men who wear dresses,make up,and they try to pass as women..ha-ha. A guy. So dear ,they look awful and some want to feel superior..and they are not.

Agnim do they still make losers like you? I thought the cast idiots like you came from had been thrown in the garbage long ago, I guess not...

Wow where do I begin? Oh yeah, my favorite: male are naturally dominant. Actually from your posts rather than dominant you sound like an insecure, whining child. If you had any kind of self-esteem you wouldn''t feel threatened by women that are your equal (or better) in education, career and earning power.
Next: working women are the roots of all evil, they should stay at home with the kids. Well dude, if you don''t like it, you are welcome to be the one that stays at home, surely you''ll do a better job at it than the average working woman! Oh I see, you don''t LIKE to do crappy, unappreciated work, spend your time picking up after everybody else, be treated like a servant, and have no saying in financial decisions. Then how about you shut the f.ck up when women don''t like it either?
Last: women suck at work. Oh that''s a nice one! If men picked up the slack and took the kids to and from schools and doctors, if they stayed home when the kids are sick, this wouldn''t be a problem right? And thankfully I see more and more decent men stepping up to the plate. But that goes right back to what I just said: you don''t like to pick up the slack, you want stuff to be done FOR you. Oh well, your kind will go extinct very soon thankfully.

Wow, some of the posts on this topic are mind boggling!

I a teacher at a college in the Northeast and I relish any class where my female students outnumber the men. Given the nature of what I teach, it virtually never happens. It is always hard to talk in generalized terms, no one view can reflect that multiplicity of student talents and personalities. However, overall, my female students are more committed, harder working, more responsible, and overall, more enjoyable to teach. I have had some absolutely superb male students over the years that it has been my privelege to teach, but overall, it is the women who as a group seem to demonstrate the most determination and dedication to their education.

It is really reprehensible that some colleges are admitting what are probably less qualified men to keep the percentages in line and, regardless of what they say, you know the real reason is money. They don''t want to become less appealing to applicants. Very sad that this is what education has become.

No they CANNOT be; and the overwhelming horrible state of America''s children suggests that they are being short changed of mothering.

And when it is truly the case, a occasional exception means NOTHING!

In ever test of knowledge, there is always going to be the ''odd ball'', the outliers, that are only fit for the garbage.

Women are becoming more and more lost to their most vital roles in the society. And the children are paying the price and sending the society into the abyss for the future.

There can be, and SHOULD NOT BE, any career for a woman more vital/fulfilling than to nurture to successful maturity adult the most complex entity in the Solar System -- the Nervous System of a child!

LOL

But at the end of the day, you do surrender under a MALE; don''t you? LOL

We need to stop playing games of delusion.

Females only have roles over males AS MALES ALLOW; especially since females have no naturally way of imposing themselves.

The fact that a male may allow a female to ''be on top'' occasionally, is fundamentally at the male say so.

The NATURAL male dominance can only be overridden by male allowance.
And it is killing America, as evidence by the children who continue to grow up being a problem for themselves and for the society; because they are missing NECESSARY female affection during their formative years!

Exactly, what a concept, but I believe they are going through the applications and weaning out females which is wrong. Do you remember at Michigan they were trying to admit blacks to equal the percentage Blacks and whites should be and whites were discriminated against even if there SAT was higher well to me this is the same concept.

[michellem99-2009]

I will not let the men belittle women. I do not buy your song and dance. Heard before. I am 52. I am legally blind with other handicaps. The bloody boy got a good education in thw schools. He came first as he was worshipped as being male. MALE..WHITE MALE. The good olde boys. What are bunch of c r a p. I felt that way growing up and still do. Men you sure want yer cake and eat it too. I think the biggest fear is yer scared a woman might just do a better job than you. Yet there are men who become women.They are just men in a dress..nasty..So it would be nice if a boy is told he can''t..I would love it..You want babies do you. It would be great if he stayed home to the Mum role 24/7. I was denied a proper education. I stared school at 10. in special ed and never learnt the basics that never was taught me. I was a girl..GIRL. not a boy. I had no desire to bear children. Never married. They felt an education was wasted on a girl and the blind at that. Boys are dumb to like football,cars,greed,power and control. I don''t care for the way men are..P U N K S.

Way to go Ozone-baby. More POWER to you

[starleo146]

Oh I see , what too many female CEO''s and that is pissing the male upper worker off. Go ahead and discriminate in the colleges so these females cannot advance in the business world. The women of this country get it all the time and they get less pay and it sucks. Maybe a women president will make a difference in these stupid equal adjustments in college. Everyone should have the right to attend college.

[olebd]

Ahh, the good ole days when everything was in order, the women were soft, the men were tough and rough , there was a place for everything and everything had it''s place. The music was softer and spoke of romance. Slippers and a pipe; read the paper in the den. Neat and tidy. Relax and enjoy the quiet. One income; comfortable life. Family vacations.

Whoa, I''m starting to post like oakishpines! LOL

There is a NATURAL IMPERATIVE that will not be denied: MALES ARE DOMINANT. FEMALES ARE ''''SUBMISSIVE''''.
Posted by Agnim at 03:33 PM : Aug 17, 2007

Ever considered the possibility that maybe these are the only kind of women that will bother speaking to you?

[olebd]

Great post Agnim.
The things that make them feminine (femininity) died in women about 20 years....now it''s "uncool" for them to not be masculine.
Posted by shanev137 at 02:56 PM : Aug 17, 2007

I agree. I saw it while my son was playing soccer on a camp league over the summer. The girls played with their shirts hiked up/stomachs exposed along with the boys and they looked so masculine. Why must everything be co-ed these days?

On the other hand, my wife makes more than me now. It wasn''t always that way and I have since cut back to spend more time being the main parent home. It''s fine with me if she wants the majority of the work stress.

Agnim, I wasn''t aware that they had computers in Redneck, inbred, hippy-bashing, gay-hating, sister-marrying parts of the deep south.

Hmmm... I have never been called "submissive" because I am not and most woman are not.
I am a construction project manager, which means I supervise engeneers,architects, and general contractors. I may be 5''4 and 110 lbs, but not one of them ever doubt my knowledge or my authority!

[ozone-baby]

I can not beleive the anti-working woman dribble i am reading here. Woman can be educated, employed and be a great parent. We can have it all. I do!
My husband and I have been married for 18 years, we have 8 wonderful childre and I have a career. I am in a male dominated field and my co-workers all respect me and my work ethics.
My children are not being raised "on the "affection" of drugs" but rather the affection of two loving, careing, working parents. They are all honor students and our oldest will be graduating next spring in the top ten of the class and the SHE is off to college to prepare for a career in architecture. She often tells me that I am her greatest role model. So now prove woman can''t do it all!!!

"Since less than 20 percent of the population ever goes to college, you may want to reassess your generalization of the so-called "pusification of the culture"
Posted by rudy654 at 03:17 PM : Aug 17, 2007"

Obviously the WRONG ''20 percent'' is going to college.

Education is being wasted on females relatively speaking.

Those females will wind up being SLAVES/SERVANTS for the MORE DOMINANT males, when the education could have been better utilized to create more males who can be masters of the nation.

There is a NATURAL IMPERATIVE that will not be denied: MALES ARE DOMINANT. FEMALES ARE ''SUBMISSIVE''.

So wasting education on female is a net NEGATIVE for the native.

Fortunately, the college learning is not much more than mis-education anyway. Otherwise, someone would have been awake to the folly of wasting education on a gender that is NATURALLY submissive to a dominant male one.

[rudy654-2009]

The children are the BIG LOSERS as the females are mislead to become more and more lost to ''''woman power'''', and in trying to be more ''''male-like''''.
Posted by Agnim at 02:45 PM : Aug 17, 2007

Since less than 20 percent of the population ever goes to college, you may want to reassess your generalization of the so-called "pusification of the culture" and all that is wrong with it, starting with yourself.

[drivelphobe]

Women who feel the need to work in a "career" should voluntarily be sterilized so the can''t "change their minds" when it suits them. I ran a business for many years, and the one significant difference between male and female employees is that men knew they had to work for the rest of their lives, and women knew they could bail out anytime they wanted. Several female employees over the years became pregnant, took temporary leave, extended their leave with BS medical issues like headaches, fatigue, etc., and then, after promising to return, decides at the last minute that they were going to stay home with the papoose. This created untold havoc in employee asignment until, after the third time. I refused to give females any responsilbity and gave them menial work, clerical, phones, etc. I have had poor performing male employees, but every one of them was straight forward about their situation and resigned or improved their performance. I would never hire a female again for anything. I refuse to go to female physicians, attorneys, bankers or any other career-seeking, child-intolerant woman.

I would hope that in the near future, women will realize that they are instrumental in child development and need to tend to that until their clildren are at least in middle school. There is plenty of time after that to become a "whole person" and dedicate themselves to a career. Otherwise, if they want to work in a career, sterilization is a must. Make the commitment a male is born with.
