Maybe, maybe not. But just with affirmative action and all the other shit, it's all but impossible (heh) to take these achievements at face value. Even if one is a real high-achiever you can't take it serious because nothing sets her apart from a fake one anymore.
I actually think this will destroy real high achievers in the long run because no matter how good she is, the system makes sure her borderline retarded fellows will look just as good her (just so they look better than all the boys)
Like for example look at Helen Keller and Anne Frank, neither of them wrote a single book. Keller's handler (also a woman) wrote that stuff for her, and when she left, Keller mysteriously stopped writing. And Frank's uncle wrote her diary with a ballpoint pen not invented until years after her death.
And after creating that hostile of an enviroment for boys, one where girls thrive in, they STILL mark boys down and girls up.

This is the most true statement you've ever said.
