[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is Trump worried about using gender in admissions? Doesn’t he realize that the number of boys will go way down if colleges aren’t allowed to balance the class for gender?[/quote]

Hilarious. If this is followed, elite math, physics, and engineering programs will be 90% male. [/quote]
Yes but there’s other majors- also not really. The top 10% of elite college stem majors would be men but there’s plenty of women at the top in these fields. Even if there weren’t, you’re neglecting biology, chemistry, neuroscience,…there are a lot less qualified men than women. Our admissions process isn’t just SAT scores- you have to actually be able to engage with community and write well. [/quote]

This is just more lower IQ thinking. Those lesser sciences could easily be (and commonly are) done by men. CEOs and politicians tend to be mostly men and they seem to speak just fine. Most doctors acclaimed for their skill or innovation are men. And which brilliant mathematicians and scientists "have to actually be able to engage with community and write well?" Yours is absurd thinking.[/quote]
You think biology and chemistry are lesser sciences?

I’m sorry. Physics is a wonderful subject and deeply intricate but current research involves smashing particles together, looking outside of our planet and essentially being a software engineer for space, being a trainee engineer (looking at you optics), and….being unemployable (theoretical).

Biologist and chemists are studying diseases that can kill you. I’ll take the cancer researcher as more important than some guy trying to find the next fundamental particle any day. Maybe the latter’s more intelligent, but it’s almost entirely useless for most of mankind- they frankly might be more useful doing something else entirely.[/quote]
