No, I find the male obsession with sports just as trivial. I never said engaging in the trivial is bad. I just said when that is all you engage in it is bad. Far too many women just don't want to be bothered with more serious subjects and they especially don't like things if they get heated or confrontational.

I was challening your view of what is trivial and what is serious. Reading comprehension is one of those things they teach in those unimportant arts programs. Funny you didn't manage to master such a non-rigorous skill.

You've missed my point. My point is that far too many women conform their behavior because they do in fact care not to be threatening to men. They want to be liked by men and will change their behavior to curry favor with men.

No, my point was that you are assuming that those women study arts subjects to conform to male expectations. And I was asserting that your deeming arts subjects more trivial than science conforms to male expectations.

There is no feminine education nor is there a masculine education. The subject matter that one studies to become educated shouldn't depend on your gender.

Excellent statement of the obvious.

All the engineering departments that I am familar with do not allow non-science majors to take their classes. In large part this is because the engineers have to take an entire years worth of science and math classes as prerequisites to taking any engineering classes.

Often true, particularly if the engineers are in an entirely different school, which was the configuration at two of the univs I attended pre-law. Though sometimes you can test in, which I did at the second. I had a double major for a few years at the first. I wasn't top of the class when I dropped out, but I was top 1/4.

What engineering classes did you take in college or grad school? I am asking you for the name of the course.

Hell, it was a long time ago, I don't remember the course names. 2 years physics, about 2 years calculus, through DiffEq. Some statistics.

Funny that no such class exists.

Actually, they do.

Funny that they don't have to dumb down poetry classes for chemistry majors.

Actually, they do.

Actually I just realized that the reason you can't discuss this topic coherently is because you are too poorly educated.
