CNN: "Why are we biased against women in science?"

We're not. Cornell did a study on this. Women recieve more scholarships and more mentoring opportunities than men.

Then the article goes on to cite studies that indicate bias against both genders....for example:

The social science research made all kinds of sense to me. Our experiences of life are turned into unconscious expectations that affect how we see others. When scholars reviewed a psychology research paper, for example, they scored it higher if the author's name were male than if female. A male applicant for a job as police chief was rated higher than a woman, even though she had important qualifications for the job that he lacked. Similarly, a male applicant for a job as nursing supervisor was rated lower than the female applicant, even when he had the qualifications she lacked.

But the article doesn't seem to recognize that this bias isn't gender-specific.

Why does CNN asked loaded, unsubstantiated questions?

METS is the last male dominated intellectual area. They won't be happy until all men are uneducated drones. Just look at public education.

I searched CNN for men/boys related education stories. All I could find were stories about Afghanistan. I thought they were an American news network?
