I might be in favour of women-only scholarships -- despite the incomprehensible number of advantages that women and girls enjoy in K-12 and post-secondary education -- if there were a proportional number of men's scholarships. But there are effectively no male scholarships, so fuck 'em.
“Men in Liberal Arts” or, I dunno, “Men in English Lit”, or hell, “Men in Primary Education” just hasn’t got the same credo as “Women in STEM” or “Girls in Engineering and Physics”, now does it..?
They absolutely know this. They’ve known this for, I’m gonna guess, a couple of decades. And yet, we see zero effort, at a tertiary level, to “correct” that…
Hmm, I wonder why..?
Though fuck it, I fucked up and lost a scholarship (because I sort of lost myself, for a while there). I really don’t have the right to be too bitter about this shit. But… Facts are that this certainly only seems to go one way.
Sure, but at least in Ontario (where I'm from) there are more female students in law, medicine, veterinary school, and grad school than male students. Those fields have massive draw and competition, unlike "liberal arts" etc.
