#1 Currently in my area of industry we have recurring problems. Women are hired for management positions with no background in real world management of subordinate staff. Yes, that question is asked and in most cases not a bit of experience is offered. So things are done as they direct. You suggest a change they will listen but not apply. A seasoned employee of over twenty years comments that her change will not work. The Engineer and the manager both women are correct. You are not. So the employee a male bets $200 dollars it will not work. Response go back to work. Within an hours time the assembly line shuts down. Perhaps a suggestion that the line needs maintenance. No, that is maintenance sourced out. Problem is it is never serviced. Round and round it goes. Entire leed transfers. One company has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to product orders lost or never delivered. New computer programmers-techs from India can't make the system work. CEO is male but all other down line management are female. This is replayed over and over in our local industries.

#2 Affirmative action admit for sure.

It is indeed scary that this retarded child was admitted to and graduated from a selective university.

She got good grades because everyone, intelligent or not, gets A's now in liberal arts programs at private colleges: the administrators insist that the profs pander to the college's "consumers."

It's actually the case now that a bright and motivated student is likely to learn more at one of the better flagship state universities than at any of the non-STEM elite private institutions.

#3 I had read that harvard has terrible grade inflation and most people have a straight A average as a result. I suspect Boston University is similar.

#5 Dale, I can't entirely follow your long comment but think I get the gist of it; cannot disagree in general, though I don't think it is a female thing. My experience is it is a background thing - elite schools vs. tech schools, 'high flyers' vs. experience. Etc.

#6 I incorporated three different large manufacturers.Condensed as best I could. From what I can see in my area, cell phones companies, loan companies are dominated by women. Then restaurants also and turnover is horrendous.
