[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anti-feminist pp to hate pp: I concede you may be right that I am being naive. I disagree, but it's a valid criticism. The raw recentness of the struggle is often forgotten. I think it should be taught with a whole lot more emphasis throughout our history education. That said, you are just wrong about the bad apple comparison. Guess what, there's a lot of dumb, lazy and worthless people of every stripe out there. I think the further we can get from generalizing entire groups based on these individuals the better we will be. That is why I am choosing to focus on eradicating sexism (racism, etc) as opposed to enforcing some kind of requirement on all women.

For example, I am a physicist. You can bet I experienced a whole lot of sexism throughout my education. It sucked and I strive every day to improve the situation for those that come after me. However, lots of women suck at physics. So do lots of men. Other people sucking at physics doesn't preclude someone being open to the possibility that I am good at it. This openness is what breaks down barriers, not me getting pissed cause other women can't do it. I hope you understand my point. I am actually quite enjoying this exchange. [/quote]

As an aside, thank you for being a physicist.  My DD loves science and is always very excited to meet female scientists. [/quote]
