Gravatar I am surprised you put this man on here. The world may consider him good or whatever, he was blatantly sexist. He was more concerned with involving females in computer science rather than those who aspire to be computer scientists. His friend from EA announced a $5 million towards "encouraging" women to take up careers in computer science and a full paid Fellowship designated to go to female students in computer science and he did not object to promotion such a sexist activity in his name..

Yes, I was fascinated by his lecture too - until the very end where he does his PC feminist equality of outcome thing. Which has been cut out of this video (I think).

He is nothing more than another left-wing PC & feminist characters who happens to know something better than most other left wingers. Almost all his brilliant students were male, yet he still yearns for females (who are free to, but will not excel in the field). How "equal" is that? How can you respect this man? I don't and it upsets me to no end that people keep giving free passes to such people.

Gravatar I put it on here because I found it inspirational, I didn't know about his past but it sounds a lot like the CS tutors I had back in my university days. Good luck in finding one who isn't interested in summarily stuffing women into CS positions they don't belong in.

Please add 5 and 2 and type the answer here:

The path to true gender equality

What is equality? We in the men’s rights movement believe in equality of opportunity, that as long as the playing field is level then the outcomes should not matter. The feminists tend to believe that equality of outcome is what matters, that the columns under men and women must match for there to be no more sexism. So what really matters at the end of the day is what you are comparing. Rights or outcomes? This is the foundation of our debate.
