We’ve reported at length about the female postgraduate engineering students at Brunel University who’ll receive sponsorships of £22,750 for MSc courses in the 2014/15 academic year, their sole eligibility for the grants being their gender. Three weeks ago we put up a post about the government spending £30 million of taxpayers’ money ‘encouraging’ more women into engineering. The post has just received the following comment:
It’s not just the extra grants. Women also get into universities to study engineering (and presumably physics too) with lower grades than a man would have to attain. My sister told me of a female friend who applied to study engineering at a prestigious British university (I’d rather not name it, but it is invariably on ‘University Challenge’ every season). She failed to get the required A-Level grades, but was offered a place anyway on this popular course, just because there weren’t enough women students. After the first year, she decided it was too hard and withdrew from the university. In other words, a male student with better grades was denied a place so that this girl could study there instead, only for her to waste it by dropping out! I bet this goes on at other universities too…
We believe there’s a huge amount of below-the-radar manipulation going on to drive up the proportion of women in prestigious, well-paid, secure professions – medicine being a prime example. GPs today earn salaries averaging £112,000 p.a. and are virtually unsackable on the grounds of poor performance.
30+ years ago the veteran campaigner and writer Dr Vernon Coleman was arguing in his books that the NHS’s policy of driving up the proportion of medical students who were women would in time create a crisis, because on average female doctors have a lesser work ethic than their male counterparts. How right he was.
70% of medical students in the UK today are women. One key driver of this statistic is the system used to select medical students. Selection isn’t only about attaining sufficiently high grades in the right subjects. A key element is the personal interview, and of course this is where manipulation of the system takes place.
Justice for Men & Boys 
This madness wll have to be stopped at all costs. The price of not doing anything will be an economic and social collapse and subsequent foreign takeover/dominance.
Feminists are trying to advantage women over men in every place at every time. But what they are creating is an unsustainable model.Already now the state can barely finance all the programs,benefits and grants women need in order to equal/surpass men. They can obviously only achieve it with taxpayers’ support and there is no reason why they should be supported.Not only is it illogical and totally unjust to men and boys,but the coffers are also empty,largely because of such practices..

Razorbladekandy had some interesting thoughts on how to deal with the situtation: http://youtu.be/YLOxHkhhwY0?list=UUrSJF7GT6MOm6PxYmv0H3_g

The point about taxes is important. A number of years ago it was pointed out that the Tax Payers Alliance would inevitably clash with feminists due to the sheer number of policies that required taxes to fund or subsidise. In effect Feminists have placed women as being naturally “disabled” requiring “reasonable” adjustments to be made. Of course this is expensive and many of the apparent” disabilities” are fabrications. With the result that in many instances what is being paid for are unreasonable privileges.

I hope J4MB will suggest and where posible suggest / support students who challenge the “positive action” that is rife. Interview processes are slippery but actual payments are more obviously discriminatory. What is needed is someone with sufficient funds to launch a case.
