Are Women Who Study Cosmotology Victims of Career Choice Coercion by Schools?

News CJ writes "Here is another example of dangerous feminist victimology turned into bountiful lawsuits. Based on this study done by National Women's Law Center, boys that feel like they were stereotyped into a "male" vocational choice, and females who feel like they were stereotyped into a "female" vocational choice, may be able to sue their school system for failing to persuade the boys into child care vocations and the girls into welding and construction vocations... Title IX will be the pry-bar for this sham."

*hysterical laughter* *wipes away tear* THOSE MEANY SCHOOLS! They force, at gun point, all those girls to choose stereotypical careers! Has it occured to no one that girls stereotypically choose those careers because they like them? I met very few boys who put more effort into hair style than using shampoo, and definitely none who had any interest in someone else's hair. I've met really few girls who find, let's say, automotive repair even remotely interesting. In fact my friend said "eww, checking oil? aren't mechanics for that?" just today. Is that because of the evil society that raised them? NO.
The whole point of not discriminating is so that men who happen to like cosmology can get into, as with girls who have a passionate interest in auto-repair. Not so that everyone can be brainwashed into liking the exact same things all the time! oy vey.

And yet they go out of their way to prove that girls (if brainwashed properly) could like checking eeeww oil.

Feminism is the idea that women can be men.

Not Sure How Far They'll Get... (Score:2)

I'm not sure how far NOW and their women's law center will get with this one. Oh, they'll go to court, alright, and they'll cost a lot of taxpayers a lot of money, and in the end, what they may do is cause the elimination of some programs that are quite popular among girls.

1) Were I to be a director of a regional vocational school program I would have an obligation to provide a balanced curriculum, one that would inlcude BOTH cosmetology AND diesel mechanics (for example). Title IX ALREADY obligates me to make ALL of my programs available to both sexes (to which I, personally, don't object).

2) I would endeavor to provide space in each of these programs in accordance to the demand.

3) I must be able to market the program, and I must be able to target each curriculum's most likely customers.

So what they're after seems to be the ALLOCATION of space for each gender, for example that there must be an allocation of 50% of the space for women. Does this sound anything like Affirmative Action? (Yeeeesssss)Is Affirmative Action working? (Nooooo)

Title IX requires eductational OPPORTUNITY, not education obligation.

DAMN! I wish there was money for a Men's Law Center !!
