Things get pretty ridiculous in places like the architecture studio, where we femmes are well aware that if we even get licensed, we will be in the extreme minority within our profession. I've been told at least twice that "You're the only girl in our class who isn't a complete b*tch."
Chicks go into this major thinking they have something to prove, and they try to prove that by being type-A control freaks; their grades suffer, and the males in the class, not carrying the 'minority stigma', work brilliantly as subordinates or co-equals within group projects, reaping benefits to a degree that ticks off the chicks and just makes them try harder to gain control. It's annoying and a little bit pathetic, especially now that I've watched it happen two or three times every semester.

The biggest attempted-leader femme in my class dropped arx in favour of history today. Frankly, I'm relieved, because she was nothing better than a massive source of stress for everybody who had to work with her on a project... but it's unnerving to see the numbers dwindling so rapidly, while most of the male population from freshman year is still intact. I fully expect by grad school to be one of only two female grad students (assuming of course that my grades stay up for that long).

I can't say I know how it is for other majors, but at least in the school of architecture, there is a strong self-perceived inferiority in my female classmates, and aside from their behaviours stemming from that self-perception, there is literally no disadvantage. We have more female profs than males this year, and none of them show clear bias for gender... *shrug*

Girls are crazy.

That's not really fair. Maddox is a satirist and an internet comedian. He doesn't intend for anything he says to be taken seriously, while this guy obviously has an agenda.

It's absurd to be upset that we use the term gunman when we also use the term milkman, postman, etc... adding man at the end is just how our language crafts words.

That's because we know the future will be perfect.

Except that's not true anymore.

Feminists have made it perfectly clear that terms like "policeman" and "congressman" are not appropriate, because they exclude women. Where's the outrage over "gunman?"

I don't mean to disagree, but I think that as time goes on, it is become arguable whether "big and strong" is advantageous on the modern battlefield. The main advantage this brings is, as you said, being able to carry more equipment and armor. However, equipment may be getting more plentiful in many cases but it is also getting lighter and more efficient.
