RE: "To me, he wanted to open up discussions, but to many, he came off sexist and bigoted. Just another example of political correctness stifling polite discourse in favor of what the establishment wants." I would disagree. If he wanted to open up a discussion, he would have prefaced his remark with, "while I acknowledge (insert text), however, I would like to ask..." When you have someone leading with a one-sided statement, it's not the basis of an open discussion. I can guarantee you that Tejek could open the same discussion up without the same negative reaction, because he would preface his comment. RE: "By the way, who said women have to prefer auto safety over auto performance" Real life example that's specific to me and the women in my school, where a male professor felt concerned by a potential rerouting of his performance research funding to 'girls' interested in auto safety. RE: "Beats the crap out of me" That's precisely my point. Do the oems have the insight to know? On a different note, I was happy (surprised) that Intel gave a science award on a topic that included "intuition." Wow, that's a first. I had wrongly figured it would take another 200 years before we as a society even got to acknowledging intuition in science. (A link to the science awards was posted on the Intel thread by Saturn) Regards, Amy J
