I find it almost impossible to counter [male-crushing] ideas that these...
students have been exposed to all their lives.
85% of all public school teachers are women who, in many cases,
actively pursue their own feminist agenda.
The ratio of females to males across the board is
increasing. Where is the outcry that we heard from the feminists years
ago? All we hear on the media are continuing stories of discrimination
against females. Meanwhile, the numbers become continually more
imbalanced against males.
Flame on.
Your commentary is thoughtful and on
target. I heard the exact same commentary on the Rush
Limbaugh show this week
Then 1993 hit, my 2 year [asst. prof.] contract ended, and the
bubble burst. Since then my "academic career" has consisted of
occasional sessional teaching. A variety of things converged
simultaneously, but one of them was the high fraction of posted jobs
which I couldn't even apply for because I am a male. Its harder to
assess the impact of "the U of ... is an equal opportunity / affirmative
action employer" (a contradiction of terms), but I have been told off
the record many times that my only problem is being a white male.
