Comments on: College Admission: Tough Times For Girls?

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

[shanev137]

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.

'' ... girls did it

girls do everything

in the eighties, if there was a flood or a forest fire: girls with horns on thier heads did it

in the ninetys, it was girls with wings and halos

now it''s girls with bumble bees in their britches

i sneeze and i sneeze up girls

i get out of bed and i rollover girls and fall into a pile of them on the floor

i open my mouth to clean my teeth and find their girls

they''re in my hair and in my pockets

i fix some food and find all over the plate: girls

i''ve had it with them

a man got arrested for having *** with some girls and they started screaming at the girls that arrested him: imagine yourself in a forest on a invisible leash spanked all over with feathers

then they started singing get well soon and you are here and why why why and feed the world and first aid on the trail

somebody should do something about all these girls

chase them through the garden and criticize them till they''re screaming and crying and behaving like they weren''t born naked and lazy and ignorant and profane and blemished and all over


after all the muslim men starved to death by the baby girls waring in iraq and afghanistan: the men of the u.s. will never be liberated because the cost of so many christian men dead is too much ... ''

This pussification of the culture can only be the source of confusion and social decay.

The females who should be taking care of the children, who unfortunately continue to be born, are out pursuing more artificial ''careers''.

So the children are left to raise themselves on the ''affection'' of drugs.

And what is the use of getting all this mis-education for females?
The females can now become better workers for the more DOMINANT males, who in the end will continue to run things in this man''s world, education or not!

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''.

This could be a pretty serious societal problem in a few years. I know I''m generalizing but I think men are more tolerant than women of marrying ''down'' in educational attainment; you''ll see a male manager marrying his secretary, but women are less likely to do the same. So, will we see female physicians marrying car mechanics, or are there going to be a lot of well-educated women hanging out with their cats on Saturday nights?

I 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.

"There are still far too few women in Computer Science, Math and Engineering."
[Posted by djpowles]

How so? Women aren''t being denied entry into these fields. At least at the schools I''ve attended, no one pushed or denied people into fields, you were free to choose the classes you wanted. I understand that diversity is good, but having everything in the world being exactly proportional isn''t always best or at least practical. Anyway, I would be willing to bet that if in the future the exact opposite is true, you would not state that there are too few men in a field.

[standlee5]

It is essential that women get a college education. Men are more likely to get into high paying skilled trades than women.

[tbuccelli]

After many years of favoring girls over boys in grade schools, what do people expect. Years ago, when boys were doing better in math/science it was ''decided'' that changes needed to be made to help girls, without care that the changes hurt boys. Now boys are accademically handicaped because of it.

As for the equal pay argument, recent studies have shown that single women (don''t remember if married women w/o children were also included) and single men of the same age working in the same (not _equivalent_) job, earn the same amount of money. In engineering, because the number of women is lower, starting salaries were actually a bit higher than those for men.

[shanev137]

In most major cities throughout the US, women make more money than men now.

[djpowles]

More women in college doesn''t necessarily mean more equality for women down the road. You have to look at what fields they''re going into after college. There are still far too few women in Computer Science, Math and Engineering. As we move more and more into the information age these are going to be the growth industries.

sy2502...that''s exactly what I''m advocating.

Oleander, by the tone of your message, I''m wondering how far you would take things. I''m sure you''re intelligent enough to see the long range effects here. More women getting higher education means more women earning powerful positions in companies and more women dictating salaries.

The GOOD news is that modern feminized education (I am a teacher) has worked so well, women have succeeded to the points mentioned in the article. I believe this will result in the points I mentioned above.

To use the language of the times, however, the question is what to do now with our "disenfranchised" male youths. Surely you don''t advocate continuing practices that result in placing one set of people at a disadvantage? Especially when it has become measurably clear (through the article) that they are unable to overcome that disadvantage.....

My point had nothing to do with what happens beyond college. I believe those things will now take care of themselves....unless you believe that all old white men in power will go on living forever. Perhaps they''re in cahoots with little green men.......ahh conspiracies!

[sy2502]

Ok here is a revolutionary idea: let''s admit to college the most talented, gifted, highest achieving students without getting race and gender into the equation. Wow, what a concept!

"I guess Equal Opportunity has now come full circle in the case of gender. How ironci."
[Posted by blazercoach1]

The problem with Equal Opportunity without the Equal Rights Amendment is that our patriarchal society gets to choose which opportunities to give. We can open our own doors, and pay for our own meals - but we can''t get equal pay, or education based on talent. It''s all still about the plumbing. How ironic.

[blazercoach1]

How ironic. I wonder if feminine advocacy groups will argue to abolish the quotas because highly qualified women are being rejected in favor of less qualified men.

I guess Equal Opportunity has now come full circle in the case of gender. How ironci.
