What is it about Liberalism that makes them think that women and minorities are incapable of meeting the standards laid out? When it comes to voter ID, Democrats think Blacks are too stupid, poor, and incompetent to obtain a proper ID. Then we have this, as found by National Review’s Katherine Timpf
A doctoral candidate at the University of North Dakota published a paper suggesting that we should make Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses more “inclusive†of women by making then “less competitive,†which is about the most sexist thing I’ve ever heard.
“There is an opportunity for STEM courses to reduce the perception of courses as difficult and unfriendly through language use in the syllabi, and also as a guide for how to use less competitive teaching methods and grading profiles that could improve the experience of female students,†Laura Parson wrote in the paper.
In other words:
Women are so fragile that a syllabus with “unfriendly†language would be enough to scare them out of pursuing the careers they would otherwise want to pursue. Men can handle taking a course even if a syllabus makes it sound “difficult,†but women cannot because they are weaker and less confident.
Oh, and, use “less competitive teaching methods†because women, unlike men, just cannot handle the pressure of competition, which is also why we should probably stop these professors from grading on a curve, too:
The “paper” is all about feminism and wondering if STEM is gender biased. I have to wonder how all the other women who enter STEM disciplines get by. Oh, right, most are not hothouse flowers who need to be protected by the big heavy hand of Government and Liberalism to get by. Seriously, Liberals are so patronizing in thinking women cannot get by on the merits, and need everything minimized.
