I can't quantify it. Sociology is not my field. However, it has been my experience that men are expected to have a fair amount of recklessness and irresponsibility that woman are not. Examples: - Men being with many woman during college is considered experimenting, whereas for woman it is considered slutty. - A man answers wrong on a question in class and people just move on. A blond woman does the same and she's a dumb blond. (I've seen this happen) - A man fails it's OK, failure happens and is a part of learning. A woman fails, and it's because maybe women aren't cut out for this. Again, not my field just going by conversation I've had with woman I know.

  > Men being with many woman during college is considered experimenting Or it is considered a rape. General advice today is to treat college as a workplace and date girls outside, who are not students. > A blond woman does the same and she's a dumb blond. I seen many dumb men > A woman fails, and it's because maybe women aren't cut out for this. ...or maybe it is because of environment, conditioning.. When women fails we need to raise awareness, funds... When men fails it is natural, no help is needed.

    For the record I don't agree with any of those things at all. Far from it. I married a feminist and it is hard not to be one myself :)

      I am feminist myself. It is about gender equality after all. Anyway, good luck ;-)

    > Or it is considered a rape. General advice today is to treat college as a workplace and date girls outside, who are not students. Does this advice lead to less women feeling that they've been raped, or does it just minimize the consequences for the person accused because the accuser is poorer and lacks institutional support (such that it is)?
