I trust you, but statistics can be manipulated in any way. I’m just tired of the labels. These arbitrary “discriminations” are going to exist as long as people look for them. Women have achieved parity in the workforce. Not every single field is always going to be 50/50. I don’t want to be rude, but it’s time to get over it and stop whining.

As long as women find “discrimination” in the workplace, they’ll be assured jobs at centers such as the Center for Worklife Balance. This five decade fight with discrimination is a self-preservation tool. Unless they complain and are vocal, they won’t get the funding. Rather than publish or perish, why not create your own “crisis” and wrote ad naseum on it. When you create your own field of research, you’ll never be out of a job.

Interested Citizen: I think several factors come into play. Academia has traditionally been anti-establishment. However, many of the most ardent leftists (as opposed to classical liberal, which I consider myself) stayed there in the 60s to avoid the draft. Women saw academia as a way to pursue political goals. Feminist theory completely dismisses all previous knowledge and sets out to establish a new form of scholarship. Leftists have been extremely successful in building programs that promote their own interests, pursue a political agenda and insulate themselves from ever encountering unenlightened people.

You post makes me want to play bingo :O)
