I think it's sad that anyone thinks men and women should have the same desires.

I would mostly agree. Men and women are different.

That doens't mean, however, that women can't, or shouldn't, be in some fields.

Women should not be discouraged from seeking hard science degrees.

Can you agree with that statement?

women shouldn't be discouraged from seeking such degrees, nor should men

schools should treat them all students indifferently regardless of gender, and it's blatant discrimination to put a hard quota on enrollment based on gender imho

yet nobody complains about "legacy"

It would be, if such a policy existed.

No one has shown anybody seriously proposing such yet. As noted the OP is an opinion piece about what someone *thinks* is going to happen, but has no proof to support.

Railing against something that doesn't exist, is all well and good, but kind of pointless don't you think?

I hate unicorns that poop on my car. :ihit

Who said they are discouraged? maybe it's their choice!

No one said they are discouraged.

I am asking you if they should be discouraged.

Simple yes or no. Agree or disagree.

I think my position is clear. No they shouldn't be discourage. I was saying men and women are different, so stop thinking they want to enroll in the same percentages.

I neither think that, nor have I stated that.

In fact, I very clearly said pretty much the opposite.

Men and women want to enroll in different things for different reasons. This is neither unwelcome, nor unnatural, it just is.

Now that I have been exactingly clear on the subject, I can hope you don't feel you have to make up strawmen to defeat going forward.

Let the best people who apply in, end of discussion. There just aren't as many women as men who are interested in STEM..nothing wrong with that. I can promise you the reason that there are currently so many more men isn't anything to do with discrimination, as others have said women who actually want in have no problem.

It's baffling how fucking stupid you are.

My post boiled down to

1) The link did not demonstrate quota's or caps on male enrollments.
2) Firms and schools are recruiting women hard as there is a labor market demand for them.
3) Those that believe in 1) are bitches themselves

At no point did I advocate artificial limits or unfair enrollment advantages. I am saying people that wring their hands over shit that isn't happening are bitches. Basic reading comprehension should have shown you that.

What is telling is that you are scared of women it's hilarious. You put so much effort in denigrating them and acting as if you are some sort of dominant male, it is quite obvious that you are intimidated by the gender.

What a putz.
