At Colleges, Women Are Leaving Men in the Dust

Applying to College

<p>as a guy, I will say this:
simranchawa-you are being sexist</p>

<p>aside from that, men and women are different, but that doesnt necessarily make one better than the other, just as we can't say humans are "better" than other species, we are just better at our niche..</p>

<p>as for stereotypes, there have been different trends in regards to what men and women do, but that means little. Right now, our understanding of the differences is very limited, so we are not able to reasonably know what causes this or that difference..and as in everyone's experience, there are many types of people of both sexes, girls who might be very science oriented and guys who arent(whatever anamolies you can think of), its really just an individual thing not concerning sex..as for why men earn more, there are many reasons for that, the formost being that women get pregnant. being an employer, would it be smart to invest a lot of money in a woman who might leave and never return b/c of a pregnancy?</p>

22

<p>Are affirmative action committees not being sexist when they give more points for race or gender than aptitude? Sometimes you have to be sexist to prove a deeper point.</p>

23

<p>As a guy:
I agree with Nathan K. You are kinda sexist. She is not even all about feminist woman power and that type of stuff. </p>

<p>Off topic: simranchawa and kathryn07, you guys were born 2 days apart.</p>

24

<p>"Off topic: simranchawa and kathryn07, you guys were born 2 days apart."</p>

<p>How do you know this and what does that have to do with anything???</p>

25

<p>oh... duh.. I forgot my bday is on my public profile</p>

26

<p>sorry, kathryn07 it was my urging to comment. I get bored really easily</p>

27

<p>lol...</p>

<p>it's kind of a pointless discussion anyways until you find some good, unbiased, statistics to back up your points. I'm too tired to bother with that though...</p>

28

<p>I think this is really interesting... somewhat hilarious how kathyrn and simranchawa switch off conversations.</p>

<p>Let's just hope that simranchawa never gets married... i feel sorry for her already.</p>

<p>Both people are smart. You can't say that guys are "smarter" than girls and girls just work harder. That's lame. Smarts don't get you very far in life if you can't work hard. And that brings me to that famous Thomas Edison quote...</p>

29

<p>*Note, NOT starting a is-abortion-illegal/legal argument/debate/screaming match.</p>

<p>I wonder, would attitudes towards abortion and in the whole gender issue be different if males were the ones who got pregnant? Picture it, your belly swelled out for the world to see for months, all the morning sickness, bloated feet, shrinked bladder, and then the horrendous pain during child birth. And THEN stuff like breast feeding, the baby crying for three hours at night.. etc. Would attitudes towards abortion be a lot softer?</p>

<p>I'm not supporting abortion here, just wondering that if you, the guy, was living proof to your possible traditional, ultra conservative, no intercourse until marriage parents that you DIDN'T follow their wishes.. Or worse, that you went to a supposedly non alchohol party and there was plenty of alchohol and drunken actions going on.. And they're either going to disown you or make your life miserable, wouldn't you want to have an abortion then?</p>

<p>I think simranchawa is p issed at women because he's been rejected by a plethora of them and has never been laid. </p>

<p>He's also probably hammering home some sort of affirmative action debate because the female val in his class got into his dream school and he didn't. </p>

<p>Btw, females don't get points for affirmative action, only URMs do. Females constitute 50% of the population, actually score the same on SAT tests, and aren't under any "social pressures" or trying to make "reparations for past injustices" like other certain groups are ;).</p>

<p>Anyway, sinranchawa, I don't know what s hithole you crawled out of, but here in America, if you started talking about women in front of me like that I'd slap you straight upside the head, boy. </p>

<p>Stop trying to raise your impressively low self-esteem by glorifying yourself and pretending to have balls. How bout you stop compensating for your tiny p enis and start acting like A REAL MAN.</p>

31

<p>Wow, a couple of you guys deserve a swift kick in the nuts.</p>

32

<p>simranchawa havent you learned, never argue w/ women. they always win. and i'm a guy by the way. I find your arguement quite funny, it reminds me of me, when I was five, and I would get mad if some girl beat a guy in race on tv or something. Or at murphy brown, cuz she always beat the guys, darn murphy. Haha, i think we need to grow up just a bit. yeah, just a little bit. If you and i perform better than all the girls in our respective classes then we'll do something to improve the stats. Untill then, stats remain stats. we're getting our asses kicked.</p>

33

<p>lol as for stats 400metres, the New York Times is hardly trustworthy. It is perhaps the most liberal newspaper in America, maybe the world. It is against America and its values, hence its illegal exposure of the vital NSA program to fight terror.</p>

<p>A few facts about the New York Times' and ACLU's agenda:</p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, women would be killing their babies, running around promiscuously, forming lesbian unions, and permanently putting kids in daycare centers to make room for their 4 jobs. </p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, terrorists would gain status as "privileged citizens," all given the license to kill Americans. Any American who tried to retaliate would be named a war mongerer and cold blooded killer. The terrorists would be henceforth named "freedom fighters." </p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, a ditch digger would make the same amount of money as a CEO in the name of equal rights.</p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, our national colors and flag would be changed from red, white, and blue to rainbow colors. (gay and lesbian pride)</p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, women would take precedence over males on the job, in college, and in life. Being a woman would mean 500 extra points. A male with a 2400 and a 4.0 would be rejected over a woman with a 600 and a 1.0. </p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, anyone practicing any form of religion would be labeled as a religious extremist and thus be persecuted and apprehended. Religion is heresy according to the New York Times.</p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, flag burning would not only be favorable, we would have a whole holiday dedicated to it. Flag-burning day, where Americans compete to see who can be the most patriotic, symbolizing their right to protest, by burning as many flags as possible.</p>

<p>If the New York Times had their way, war would be illegal. It doesn't matter who attacks us. War is bad. Our troops kill "innocent" people. No War is good. All other nations except the United States are angelic entities, not capable of malice. The USA is the biggest problem in the world according to the New York Times.</p>

<p>Do I trust the ultra liberal, communist, and Anti-American New York Times? Hell no. They can take their skewed statistics and anti-american agenda and shove it up their holes, as they shove things in there often on gay pride day. The New York Times is the most unreliable source possible. Males shall continue to dominate for decades and centuries to come.</p>

34

<p>I'd say simranchawa is either a troll or is really really upset about never being able to get laid.</p>

35

<p>Regardless of your personal attacks, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.</p>

<p>I bet you think this article is communist as well...</p>

<p>"The number of female ACT-takers who are considering engineering careers dropped to a 12-year low in 2002, despite a more than 40-percent increase in the overall number of female test-takers since 1991. Only 18 percent of the planned engineering majors in the high school graduating class of 2002 were female. </p>

<p>Those 2002 graduating females who planned to major in engineering, however, were among the better prepared students in this category; they had higher GPAs and ACT scores and were more likely to have taken advanced math and science coursework than their male counterparts. </p>

<p>"Females are an untapped source of talent to lead the high-tech economy in the future," said Noeth. "Far too few of them are planning to study engineering. We need to increase their interest in pursuing this type of career. They need encouragement early in their lives."" </p>

<p>Not all females are highly intelligent, but neither are all males. You're going to need to get used to the fact that there are smarter people than you...and that many of them are female.</p>

37

<p>Wow. I'm laughing so hard right now at simranchawa. I guess I realized that guys like him still exist, but I didn't expect them to be hanging around CC.</p>

<p>Props to katho, but you may as well save your fingers and stop responding, because it's not going to accomplish anything.</p>

38

<p>I know, but I enjoy confrontation. It's a problem sometimes...more so now that I don't have Debate to get it out of my system.</p>

<p>And it is my opinion that your opinion is laughable. Aren't opinions wonderful? :)</p>
