Women and education

Feministing:
This one is a doozy. John Bustrak of Michigan Tech writes that "Feminism has gone too far." What is it this time? We've made girls slutty? We're the reason more women are in prison? No, Bustrak thinks feminism has overstepped its bounds because we've made it difficult for women to fulfill their "desire to nurture." Also, we probably shouldn't be allowed in college.

...
Charming sentiment.

They point to this paragraph late in the work.

Now, I have known a number of women who consider themselves not simply equal to men, but superior. Why? Because they are more “sophisticated,” because they are more “rational,” and less prone to violence. Further, I have seen women who have decided that they need to one-up men for aggressiveness and become almost psychotic in their brash confrontationalism...When did feminism stop being about “we are worth just as much as you are,” and start being about “we can do everything you can do, and then some”?
Ah. So this is all the result of being turned down by a girl. Buddy, lighten up, move on, and, especially after writing this screed, ask, "Is it you?" Cause I think it might be.
