What’s good for the gander, is good for the goose.
So long as the number of ladies in female dominated fields is restricted so that the guys can have 1/2 the slots, fine by me.
But then again, I suspect those pushing this notion of discrimination in the hard sciences would find that notion of ‘equity’ hard to swallow.
(In my aero engineering class in the late 80’s / early 90’s there were 4 gals and 50 something guys admitted – at graduation, after the usual attrition it was about 11:1 ratio).
Makes sense to me! We all know that the first consideration of a student’s potential to excel in crystallography or astrophysics or paleontology is whether or not too many of his classmates have the same kind of junk between their legs as he does.
