[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had a son and daughter at good single sex schools. The all-boys school emphasized professionalism and career prospects. Many of its graduates selected engineering, CS, and econ as prospective majors.

For the all-women's school there was much more emphasis on self-discovery and self-care, not on professional skills. And it was a progressive women's high school.

I think we're still socializing our children of different genders very differently.[/quote]

We're not "socializing" them this way. We are acknowledging their inherent differences. Which you obviously agree with, or you wouldn't have chosen single sex schools for both of them.[/quote]

And there goes all of modern feminism, bobbing down the stream. We tried. [/quote]

I sure wish I knew what this meant. Are you stating that you believe the goal of modern feminism was to recreate reality? If so, it was all a farce to begin with and THAT is why it is "bobbing down the stream."[/quote]

Universities have been desperately trying to bring gender parity to the sciences. Some on this thread would have us believe that that quest is a fool’s errand, because of intrinsic differences. Larry Summers would certainly agree.[/quote]
