I often wonder about all of this, not that it would effect me in any way, however, I have a friend (just happens to also be a radical feminist) who works in finances in a major university and that same person once mentioned to me that the Engineering and Mathematics departments often give out full scholarships and grants to female students to try to increase the female to male ratio in their departments. It is very easy for an average female engineering student to have their education paid without loans. It is a very marxist way to increase representation and force equality between the sexes. All very interesting.

Interesting op-ed in the Boston Globe today about mothers being the real victims of discrimination among employers. Note the statistic that for women ages 27 to 33 without children, pay scale with men is 98 percent, essentially equal.

I think since his whole blog is about denoucing feminism, I will start one called denouncing him. It will be called “Boy, that Todd is F-Ugly!” … you may now return to your regular programming.

I’m not just talking about salaries, though. In so many other areas — from time spent raising kids to sports participation to the percentage of women partners at top law firms — the a priori feminist assumption tends to be that men and women should end up there at equal numbers. And when they don’t, it must be because of discrimination, or society not encouraging girls enough.

I agree with this too. If there really were salary discrimination against women, if they really made only 70 cents on the dollar for doing the exact same job to the exact same skill level as a man– I’d hire nobody but women, and make a killing.
