4 standardized test scores before your senior year seems like plenty of information for a college to evaluate a student on. I don't think a college should need 11 standardized scores to conclude that you can probably do college level w

I do see your point about test prep taking over the entire curriculum. And I can agree that's an issue as well. I guess I just find a test in an actual subject to be less BS than a general "aptitude" test, whatever that means

If students can still submit AP test scores as part of their application, then I don't have a problem with them eliminating the SAT. AP tests are much harder than the SAT, and more representative of college material anyway. Studying fo

It doesn't seem like a convincing argument to define accounting as a "people focused profession" now that it's a women-majority profession. If it was majority male, I think it would be used as an example of how "men

Roughly 60% of accountants are women. What is the biological argument for that? 65% of realtors are women, but in commercial real estate it's only 35% women. Is that biologically driven? Seems like it's just socially harder for wo

When I read the headline I was upset, why get rid of a program that challenges eager young minds? Then I read that the current system tests 4 year olds, and puts these kids on separate tracks. 4 year olds! I'm all for challenging diffe

Many colleges use affirmative action for men to boost male enrollment to achieve more gender-balance. The article says: "Some selective colleges discriminate against women in admissions to maintain a gender balance, as The Journal repo

How is the advice worse? The advice is acknowledging the reality that employees can always leave whether for other job opportunities or family reasons or just because. As a business owner, you need to plan for that reality. Having the expec

I agree with you that having grocery stores nearby is helpful, but even in neighborhoods with grocery stores close by people prefer buying the unhealthy options because it's cheaper, easier, and tastier. I think a lack of knowledge, in

One of the lowest effort healthy lifestyle changes you can make is to wean your body off of craving sweets. Artificial sweeteners still make you crave sweets. Replace sweetened drinks with unsweetened tea (there are hundreds of varieties, y

I do agree that focus on genitalia is generally unnecessary and unwelcome. In this case though we are discussing trans-women fearing people with penises raping them in men's prisons, and cis-women fearing people with penises raping the

No. Correctional officers do not sleep next to prisoners in the same cell every night, so it doesn't create the same threat and fear. Sexual assault by correctional officers is a problem that also needs to be better addressed. But that

No, I don't think trans-women are more likely to be rapists. Trans-women are at high risk of sexual assault in male prisons and that should be taken seriously. Cis-women are at risk of sexual assault and being impregnated from that sex

Impregnation and sexual assault are obviously not the same thing, and I am not combining them as if they are. Housing cis-women and trans-women creates a unique situation where cis-women can be sexually assaulted AND impregnated. I don&#x27

The fear of being impregnated from a sexual assault is not rooted in bigotry. It places cis-women in a very uncomfortable position of having to birth and raise a child created from sexual assault or have an abortion. This is not concern tro

These are true statements. Cis-women can be raped and impregnated by people with penises is also a true statement. Perhaps the complete solution is to house all in-mates in separate cells regardless of sex or gender. I do not think that cre

Yes, because women can get pregnant. Then not only do you have to deal with trauma of your sexual assault, you have to deal with the trauma of having a child born from that sexual assault or have an abortion.
