OK, so I am still not feeling well, but there was something on the news that gets me.
A 'Girls Only' seminar/class on getting girls into more scientific / computer fields.
I am OK with that. BUT, why can't they have an ALL-BOY one? You know why? Because THAT would be discrimination. There would be some goofy mother out there with a lawyer threatening to sue them for not allowing her precious little girl in there.
Studies have shown that both boys and girls do better in a segregated atmosphere. I have no problem with all-girl schools or all-boy schools.
No distractions from the opposite sex. No teasing each other to 'impress' someone else. Just a genuine interest in a topic.
