Well — it’s very hard to believe the free software movement would turn away any volunteers, especially on the basis of sex. I mean — how could it? If a project’s maintainers don’t like you, you can always fork off a branch from it. That’s what github is all about.
So i think the cause for that very low participation rate lies elsewhere — perhaps in men being much less tolerant of their wives pursuing an intellectually demanding time-consuming non-paying activity than women are of their men. (Men may also get jealous of their wives spending time communicating with other men.)
I wish this could be fixed, because the world would be a better place with twice as many free software programmers, but there are obstacles, and they may be genetic as well — it’s easy to see how evolution would favor a certain amount of male jealousy. But i don’t the the obstacles lie with the (mostly male) free software developers themselves.
If blacks don’t go to college, it’s because whitey’s holding em down. If they do go to college, it’s because whitey is just cynically making a profit out of em. Could you make up your mind? As Graham Chapman said to Eric Idle in the “Life of Brian after he’d had his leprosy cured: “There’s just no pleasing some people.”
If you are dumb enough to believe these establishments are proper colleges, then by enrolling in one, by definition you rule yourself out of any job needing a high IQ.
“Imagine corporations that intentionally target low-income single mothers as ideal customers. I
magine that these same companies claim to sell tickets to the American dream”
It is of course, the Democratic Party.
What else have the done since LBJ?
I’m assuming that “for profit” colleges have lower admission standards than public or non-profit colleges (or else why would anyone willing to choose to attend the higher cost for profit school). Perhaps the problem here isn’t the “for profit” colleges, it’s merely that some people just aren’t bright enough for a college education to make much difference.
A 90-IQ college graduate isn’t much more useful to an employer than a 90-IQ high school graduate, regardless of how good the college is. In either case, the person isn’t suitable for intellectual tasks.
