The knotheads either don’t realize or don’t care this hurts women engineers who have earned their degrees and jobs in even competition with men and other women. Same as has been done with blacks. “Affirmative action” like this is disastrous. (BS Mech Eng, MS Systems Eng)

Not exactly the same as enlisting large numbers of mental group IVs. But it does diagnose the wrong pathology.

We have women working for us as pipeline welders. I can guarantee that they have to pass the same tests as the men. They also make the same amount as the men according to their experience.

If it’s happening at university level, it’s happening in the workplace.

Now that is safety! Vest, hard-hat, steel-toed boots.

The ponytail COULD get caught in machinery, but you can’t have everything.

Preferences granted such as “affirmative action” or lowered entry scores should be stamped in large red letters on academic degrees, professional licenses, etc.. After all, those preferences are good ideas - right???? Then the consumer can decide if lower standards are good enough for them.

Absolutely avoid bridges! If one thinks that this will make society better,I have a bridge to sell you in Florida. It’s all in pieces in a landfill and evidence of a crime scene.

next,medical schools will lower the entry score for female applicants.

Oh, I believe med schools are already making allowances for MCAT score differences in acceptance criteria. It's a good time to go into medicine if you're a woman.
