Debate Starter....
So it turns out that posting is something that I feel like doing right now. So have you people heard what is happening in Harvard right now? Apparently the president of Harvard or something hypothesized that the reason there were so many more male engineering students than female engineering students in top schools was because there might be a small difference in innate ability. Well all these women had an immediate negative response to the statements (I thought "started bitching" would just cause more troubles) and now the president of Harvard is in trouble. Now I could give less than a crap about what happens to the president of Harvard but I thought this whole subject had been been done already? I mean not just in big schools are there more men than women in Engineering. Go to the engineering building in Kingsville and look around. There are lots of women yes but lots more men. Its seems plausible that an innate difficulty with math and science could be the explanation. I mean isn't that one of the reasons the SAT was changed? Weren't there a whole bunch of people saying that women statistically do worse in the math part? And why isn't it okay to state a hypothesis? I mean all the people who cried out against the prez of harvard didn't even use any facts. Just outright dismissed the argument as sexist.
