Morganzola,
“When scientific concepts in physics, information technology, and statistics were presented in a female friendly way -- as for example relating to online shopping or cosmetic surgery” http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110302075951.htm Now you must know a lot (aka C.J Morgan) so if it isn’t hormones that makes girls interested in “online shopping or cosmetic surgery”, then what is it? The answer to that question could be worth a lot of money. Suzanonline, There is no science in the author’s credentials. So why do you want her to become Prime Minister. Is it because she is feminist and non-scientific. Pelican, I think you strayed from the topic in your ruthless and bigoted attack on me, and I was very hurt. But you will be pleased to know that I recovered immediately, and just brushed it off as a ruthless and bigoted attack. Now you could be more constructive and produce something worthwhile that could be used by the education system. So what topics do you think should be taught in science courses at schools to keep girls interested, besides “online shopping or cosmetic surgery”?

vanna,
How about "how to dissect a misogynist".... (Of course, taking "dissect" to mean: to examine analyse and criticise in minute detail) Just a suggestion : ) Posted by Poirot, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 5:25:38 PM

Poirot,
Unfortunately, your suggestion just doesn't cut it. Try to think outside of the feminist box, where misogyny is everywhere inside the feminist's head. Try to be original, and not some 1970's feminist. Try to be yourself, and not some chewed up and spat out victim of feminist brainwashing. In other words, give a better answer.

Come on Suze, intimidate, you've got to be kidding.
Try disgust, the feeling I have for our present PM, & you might just be getting somewhere. Posted by Hasbeen, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 7:09:25 PM

Perhaps before you accuse someone of bigotry you should do some self-examination. You don't even acknowledge women are abused or raped unless it is somehow their fault or that men have affairs and that is why some women might be single mothers, or that their men have abandoned them. That sort of one-eyed denial really gets up my nose – it is dishonest. My statement was based on your own words over a number of different threads and topics. You want your cake and eat it too Eg. women who stay at home are leeches and men who accept this state of affairs are naive. Eg. women who work are failing in their responsibilities at home. Eg. single mothers are the cause of crime. You get the picture. The only bigoted comments are from you. From your masculinazi perspective, women are in a no-win situation. Working women are feminazis, if they don't work they are leeches and men are fools (give men more credit too), if their husbands leave them it was the woman's fault, if the woman leaves she is 'fickle' and lacking in character. You sir are the bigot. Many problems are caused by economic disparities than by imaginary gender conspiracies. As for women and science. Why should we focus on women in science? Let women and men enter into whatever fields they show an interest or aptitude. As long as there is access to occupations and careers, the rest is up to individuals. Occupations don't have to be 50/50 gender mix, there may be other factors that influence which professions women and men choose. Why can't we acknowledge there are some differences in general terms between men and women? There are a lot more women in science now than many years ago. Why aren't there ever any conversations about why more boys aren't choosing nursing or child care occupations. Why is it always assumed that traditional male occupations are the most desirable or worthwhile? It is this mindset that has diminished the role of ‘mothering’ and women-centric occupations.
