(92 posts)A very cursory examination of your links negates your premise:
Your first link:
" you can't have equity for only one person or group without considering the benchmark)" It's pretty clear what the benchmark inherent in the title is. It's "understood".
The bullet points explain this program pretty well:
"Training for teachers and other school personnel to encourage gender equity in the classroom;
Evaluating exemplary model programs to advance gender equity;
School-to-work transition programs;
Guidance and counseling activities to increase opportunities for women in technologically demanding workplaces; and,
Developing strategies to assist LEAs in evaluating, disseminating, and replicating gender-equity programs."
This isn't about scholarships at all, it provides for programs to counter misogynistic practices in place. Doesn't support unreadierLizard's premise; this list only mentions programs available to women and doesn't prove a paucity of scholarships available to men.
Your 2nd link:
lists 2 categories, one for female scholarships, one for men. Both are extensive. Perhaps unreadierLizard should avail himself of one of the 31 scholarships listed for men (supposing his GPA qualifies him).
Even at a 2:1 ratio, how does this support unreadierLizard's statement that he "couldn't get a scholarship because most of them were reserved for women"?
Perhaps he should quit blaming his failure on uppity women and realize that "scholarship" depends on being a "scholar".
EDIT: Please note that these lists do not reflect any scholarships not restricted by gender, there's a plethora of scholarships that are available to either gender that remain unlisted!
Secondarily, I doubt that a list of approximately 100 listed scholarships is the sum total of ALL scholarships available.
"There is no "reverse discrimination". There's only one kind." Are you denying that there is discrimination against women? That's self-induced myopia.
My questions to him remain unanswered, but you deserve credit for trying to prop up your bro!
