... and 26 percent reported being sexually assaulted...

Assualted like the student Jackie alleged at UVa? Or assaulted assaulted (to paraphrase Whoopie...)?

I find this hard to believe. Unless violence includes being told to be quiet (on occasion).

Cause when I think of violent predators, I think of engineers.

Hard drinking yes. Cussing a lot, probably. But assault?

I’ve been in engineering for a long time and asked a few female co-workers out for lunch/drinks (when I wasn’t their superior). Sometimes a second time after they declined the first. I suppose today that would be considered assault...

Yes, most attractive ladies I’ve met in the field have had at least one bad “experience” at work (few openly share) but it’s no different than what they would experience anywhere else. A small percentage of men are assholes everywhere and it has nothing to do with STEM. It’s simply a reality of being a woman ANYWHERE and real gentlemen have to be on watch for it.

Females are 60% of college graduates and dominate medical & law schools. They’re given every advantage in primary & high school, while males are drugged up with Ritalin for acting as their sex programs them to do. Whoever and whatever this “woman” is, she needs to shut her lying blow hole.

GLBT Educator of the Year in 2010, so no surprise. Riley’s resume is heavy on government and activist experience, but this is her first professorship. Professional man hater and activist.

In 30 years in high tech, I never saw it.
I saw men getting stalked by women looking for Sugar Daddy’s.
Women using gender to force management to get a promotion.
Lots of normal drama that happens between men and women.
Flirting on both sides.
Arrangements.
Affairs.

Saw all of this in High Tech but never saw or heard of women being raped are assaulted.
Considering the 20-1 ratio, if it was common, people would have heard about it at the water cooler.

I believe it but she is masking the reason. Engineering students tend to come from cultures where women are not respected very well, especially American women. American women are portrayed as unpaid strippers and prostitutes overseas. Not only that, “Stalking” is actually a common way of courting in some cultures.
A lot of Aspies in that area as well.

Compare sexual harassment in engineering fields with those in the legal profession.

Nonsense. Probably just the opposite.
I recall one very attractive female engineer who walked around barefoot at work (what man could get away with that?), who pursued and bedded as many good looking male co-workers as she could. I didn’t fall into that category unfortunately!

Most of my fellow nerds in my day were overjoyed that a woman was in the class or in the labs. At Purdue, the rather-average-to-below-average looking girls were put on pedestals that many never came back down from (especially since they had never been up there before). It was a fun (yet depressing) social experiment to observe.

(Depressing because suddenly I couldn't even get ugly girls anymore!!)

But violence against them? By other STEM male students? No way on earth. Any geek driving away the few females around would have been subject to all kinds of creative technological hell.

I’d like to report on anti-Religious murder in the Humanities Departments, specifically African-American Studies Centers’ Lesbian and Questioning Units among Capricorns. The Virgos are fine.

All in all the feminists final goal here is to put men in their place permenantly, even if it means genocide of men.

They want to lock all men up for just staring at a woman, welcome to the new brave world were sex will be outlawed and procreation will be done with test tubes.

The end game here is to destroy all men from the face of the world.

The feminists false rape charges or false assault charges is a means to justify the ends and their final solution for men.

Hope fair minded women wake up in time to realize they are being lied to before it’s to late for men.

For the most part in my 30 years in STEM fields I have yet to see a woman engineer that I find remotely attractive, yes I am sure there are exceptions.
