Mme. Curie (and a few others) excepted, I'm just having a hard time imagining what
"special"
Physics: By,-and-for,-girls would look like.
Would the stars in the
Cosmos dominate the HUGE mirror of the Hubble telescope?
(OK, I had to work a bit on THAT one)
Wendy McElroy went on at length about the HORRORS of "special", college level, remedial women's sciences classes. Academic
Title IX Gone Wild at it's finest. (pre "sports", when the whole "academic" lie showed it's um...
unexpected consequences.

Excerpt"
The White House has announced a new set of policies that would step up enforcement of Title IX, explicitly applying the rule to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Title IX has always applied to all federally funded education programs, but the Department of Education's new enforcement efforts will "develop consistent and consolidated technical assistance" on Title IX in STEM. Just as enforcement of Title IX has meant gender quotas on school sports teams, increased enforcement in STEM education will likely lead to artificial enrollment caps aimed at keeping men out of math and science classes. "Title IX isn't just about sports," President Obama wrote in Newsweek earlier this year. It's also about "addressing inequality in math and science education" and "a much broader range of fields, including engineering and technology. I've said that women will shape the destiny of this country, and I mean it." (01/10/12)
There's that word
enforcement again.
Yet ANOTHER
re-disestablishmentarianism of what
Affirmative Action actually means. (Get up.Take a piss. Clean your glasses. Get a beverage-of-choice, before going here)
Any Questions?
Planning on Voting?
