		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Women earn 20 percent of all bachelor degrees in physics, engineering and computer science.&quot;

And yet, women earn 60% of all bachlors in general. But I suppose this doesn&#039;t matter. Equality isn&#039;t about men and women balancing out, is it? It&#039;s about women being equal or dominant in all fields. And if you need to start focusing to get there, so be it.

&quot;2018 workforce projections show 9 of 10 of the fastest growing occupations that mandate bachelor degrees require significant scientific or mathematical training.&quot;

And of those occupations that don&#039;t need a bachelor? or those that need a doctorate? What about those fields? How may of those occupations are already female dominated? What is being done to balance out those female dominated fields, such as nursing and doctors?

Focusing your criteria, manipulating the perceptions with the data you present or lave out, so they come out appearing in your favour is a dishonest tactic. Women already outnumber men in higher education, driving more men out to make room for women is not equality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;A group of mostly male engineers tailored the first generation of automobile airbags to adult male bodies...&quot;

This is because the typical driver is male, as men account for most of the hours driven on the road (see http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm ).  To create such devices for mass-production only smaller and lighter would have resulted in many men being killed too, as the bags would not have done their job adequately.

But according to feminist thinking, to see 100 men killed in order to spare the lives of 80 women and children is fine.  Hell, it&#039;s positively desirable!]]></description>
