And despite girl scouts being more “progressive” and getting more cookies, I don’t see boys wanting to join, nor do their parents encourage them. How surprising.

what on earth is “extremely assertive”? What’s extreme about a girl being assertive?

“develop skills and friendships among a gender-specific peer group”? What is the benefit of developing skills and friendships along gender lines? Why should we not encourage boys to befriend girls as well so that when they grow up they won’t feel awkward in their presence and won’t try to eliminate them from their…

No, I haven’t seen any good reason for the boys and girls segregation. I think it is actually a terrible idea since it reinforces the gender stereotypes which children will take with them into adulthood, into the workplace more precisely, with the known consequences for women. It is a bad idea and as far as I know…

But why not let the girls join the boy scouts and vice versa? Why is gender segregation so important? And maybe more importantly why wouldn’t any boy want to join girl scouts?

I don’t think you have ever driven a car without wheels. I have ... it’s a no go, obviously.

true, but there is a difference between not liking a car because it’s not shapely enough and not liking it because the wheels are missing.

Bro, your brain has way bigger problems than you think it does. I looked at your other posts and you’re clearly a troll here. I can only feel sorry for “your girl” (although I doubt she even exists).

Other professors at Harvard said that the signatories of that letter are a minority and that in fact the faculty supports the message conveyed by the documentary. Who wouldn’t.

It is absolutely not enough. You make a very common mistake , which is to believe that if a rape could not be proven in court, then it was not committed. This is not true and it is up to you to believe whomever you want. I chose to believe the women, regardless of their skin color. Why? Because there is a huge…

It is indeed to much to ask, if he raped her.

Oh so you have no clue about computer science , but have the impertinence to voice your opinion about “coding” and women who, somehow, inherently are not capable of doing it? Why is it that men talk about things they aren’t qualified to speak of and expect people to take them seriously? It happens all the time and I…

Dude, I’ve got a master’s degree in computer science and have a long career in IT development, architecture, consulting and management so please spare me your idiotic diatribe on what women are or not capable of. You are pretty much saying that women are lazy and would not put up with a “difficult” job. Fuck off, how…

That’s bullshit. Girls/women do better than boys/men in school and university. Geeks should stop being envious on women’s sex lives just because they don’t get any. Don’t mix professionalism with sex - the two have nothing to do with each other. If anything, people with healthy and fulfilling sex lives do better in…

So men are more aggressive and that is why they get promoted. I agree to some extent (I am also convinced there is a male clique in tech which overlooks women for promotions for multiple sexist reasons), but then you must admit that promotions are not given based on merit, since merit is equivalent to being a good…

So you had a bleeding at six months and your super UK midwife just looked at you, said you’re fine, sent you home and you were happy with that?

It is in fact way less care. A midwife could not have handled my unexplained bleeding at six month into the pregnancy or my gestational diabetes. I would have had to scramble to find a last minute emergency obstetrician instead of having one chosen by me once I found out I was pregnant - one who had the time to get to…

You don’t need to force girls into stem. You just need to figure out how to eliminate discrimination and sexist bias and women will come, don’t worry.

Just to let you know , in Canada, obgyn is standard pregnancy and post natal care and Canadian women would not settle for anything less. We just don’t want to put our lives at risk just because people want to lower the cost of women’s health care. Because in the end, that’s what natural birth propaganda is - trying to…

“Giving birth is not a medical emergency” - yes it is an emergency, of course it is. In many cases it is a life threatening emergency .
