Oxford University gives women more time to pass exams

To clarify the catalyst was women, however the title is patently misleading because they actually gave everyone more time.

Equality of opportunity is preached on this sub regularly. Well here is a perfect example of equality of opportunity. However the title, as presented, frames this as an equality of outcome situation by omitting the fact that all students regardless of gender receive this additional 15 minutes. Hell give everyone 5 hours to take the exam. Maybe 10, who cares as long as everyone gets the same time.

The title is misleading and thus the flair is misleading. Its not just giving women more time it gives all students more time.

I suppose you could argue that the change was only made for the sake of women but that would require showing that male students who asked for the same were denied.

This is the very equality of opportunity that is so highly value.

"But I am happy when people see gaps between groups of people who should not reasonably have such gaps - such as between genders, races or class -"

Why exactly would someone NOT expect to see gaps between any of these groups? It's like people don't have basic differences in cognition due to external and internal factors...

They gave more time to everybody, men and women alike. Yes, they gave it to help women, but it helped men, too.
