Study Authors:

Did anybody notice the itsy-bitsy little footnote: "*All authors are founders and uncompensated board members of the nonprofit American Council for CoEducational Schooling (www.coedschools.org)

In re all authors of this study.

Lise Eliot Interviewer: Do you consider yourself a feminist? Lise Eliot: Well, absoluately. I don't understand how feminist became a dirty word

Rebecca S. Bigler is Professor of Psychology and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. [Do me a favor, and go ahead and drop down to her publican list. Besides the fact that she writes articles entitled, "Reformulating children's gender schemata", notice that she has written articles with one of the other "scholars" listed in the OP]

Janet Hyde Professor (of Psychology and Women's Studies)

Edit: From the Washington Post: "...Evidence is more clear that sex segregation increases gender stereotyping and legitimizes institutionalized sexism, the authors write..."

Written by a lawyer for the AC (W) LU proving the ACLU is not to be supported, it is bought and paid for by feminists (notice their defening silence on mens rights regarding rape on campus, thank you FIRE).

The feminists are sharpening their knives against the first attempt by society to help young boys failed by our sexist public school indoctrination system.

At some point we will need the male version of the ACLU, some smart young lawyer will make a killing.

"Last week’s news out of Madison, WI, indicates that state education officials share this concern. They have put a hold on a proposed sex-segregated school, Madison Prep, asking the school’s proponents to provide scientifically based evidence showing that separating boys and girls will get educational results."

Laughable.. they put the segregated school on hold until there is evidence that it shows positive benefit.

Where is the evidence to come from if no experiments are attempted?

Also, given the way the present system is apparently harming boys, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to fall back on it as the "safe" position.

Six out of the seven authors of this little ACLU gem are female, too.

"That will be much harder for the school to do following the publication of an article in the prestigious journal, Science, debunking the “pseudo-science” behind this troubling trend."

Don't you love the way Feministing jumps directly to the conclusion that it is "psuedo-science"? And at the same time, trumpets this article as being published in Science; yet it is not a research paper, it's an opinion piece. It doesn't debunk anything. Any bias showing there, Feministing?

Wait, I'm starting to get confused. Are we supposed to be disagreeing with this post?

I know it has all this "feminist," "women's rights" stuff everywhere, but there's nothing wrong with the content that I can see.

Is r/MensRights for treating children differently based on their gender? Like, in general? Because that sounds terrible.
