Why Can’t a Woman Be More Like a Man [Science and Title IX]

Most of the hard science WORKERS will be foreign imported to do the jobs Americans will be unable, untrained, but affirmatively degreed to do.

And with this PC stuff, the forign scientists will also have to be female. Forget about an H1B if you are male.

Feminist Quantum Mechanics may explain why feminists are able to whine and demand government handouts while simultaneously proclaiming their independence and strength. Like some subatomic particles, they can occupy two states at the same time.

The Feminist Uncertainty Principle? If you put a feminist in a box.....

I'm still confused - how exactly is math sexist?

It involves a right answer.

Say good bye to quality U.S. research in the quest for political correctness.

China will pick up the slack. The world always adjusts. ;)

there you go - LOL

Hi najida, re your: "...may be as simple as they haven’t met anyone they wished to marry ..."

And why's that, dear? Likely reason: lack of psychological/emotional maturity/soundness.

[ProCivitas]

lol funny.

You did know the last 5,000 Calculus equalities were developed by Jain and Hindu mystics and devotees of a variety of Buddha's disciples, or gods.

Nothing "racist" in that ~ all those guys are white folk anyway ~ and most modern advanced math courses in the United States have been taught by guys with brogues for the last 40 years.

Srinivāsa Rāmānujan Iyengar FRS (Tamil: ஸ்ரீநிவாச ராமானுஜன்)is someone you should look up. A truly impressive mathematician.

Or, maybe you didn't know that.

It's far more important to know that the powerhouse minds in math have been coming from South Asia than it is to know that geographical or cultural information about them might violate the rules of politically correct (PC) speech.

The only way to get over racism is to meet it on the road and kill it.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to identify the problem with American mathematical programs ~ that is that the American people are too stupid to be deserving of brilliant math teachers.

Otherwise no one would consider using Title IX to destroy the teachers, destroy the programs and reduce America to little more than an "Idiocracy".

Calculus I has only one difficulty ~ the questions ~ they are all hard but that's usually because the instructors failed to get across to the students how simple they were.

The "it is intuitively obvious" statement does not work at this level as a substitute for "discussion" in the classroom.

Is it just me or, with the number of boys raised by single-moms has increased, so has the number of proportionate weeny-metrosexual girly-boys on campus?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It isn't just you. I noticed the same thing.

If one has difficulty in algebra and does not understand its applications in the real world, then, calculus is inherently that much more difficult.

I always was taught 1/2 of the 3 courses I had in calculus from a statistical view point, which I loathed...I had to poke around in higher level engineering (structural and soil mechanics) books in the library to get a good handle on it and appreciate its applications.
