" BSU political science professor Scott Yenor made disparaging remarks about women and spoke critically of feminism at the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, Florida, on October 31 in a speech titled "The Family Form that Nations Need."
"Every effort made must be made not to recruit women into engineering, but rather to recruit and demand more of men who become engineers," Yenor said. "Ditto for med school, and the law, and every trade." "

But this board assured me that if you wouldn't encourage your daughter to apply for college in retrograde states, you're a bigot.

It looks like they aren't firing him. I wonder how he can possibly grade female students now- it seems like a claim of bias would be open and shut given his statements.

You left out this part: Yenor said on Twitter that "making special efforts to recruit women into fields where they don't seem to want to be" should be stopped, and he denied wanting to prevent women from obtaining those professions.

I wonder about this also. If women don't want to go into engineering why make such an effort to recruit them?

Medicine and law are different of course, women don't need to be recruited since plenty apply plenty on their own.

It's no wonder why there is a such a tiny number of R women in Congress compared to Dem women, and why R women are demanding more from their party to support more women in politics.

He should tell Greene and Boebert to quit and let a real man take their seat.

Replace women with any other group underrepresented in a career field and see how that sounds to you.

I think the key word here is "recruited." I don't think the guy is saying he doesn't believe women should be working in those professions.

LOL nice try. But he literally says in the next sentence that efforts should be made to "recruit" men to those fields. So the issue is not recruiting, it's who is being recruited. Women = wrong, Men = right.

My mistake. He says it in the SAME sentence, not the next sentence.

Be smarter. He wants the traditional family. He wants to keep women home.

You need to see where he’s going; the exact words don’t matter as much as the fact he’s involved in this “Family” organization.

I was reading the CNN article in the link, 5th paragraph. I don't see what you mention, but I believe you. No quarrel with you.

He is a professor at Boise State. It isn’t like he has influence.
