Apologies, I had typed the tweet before I looked at the article fully. Not "allegedly". They actually did it. And people call James Damore a sexist for saying that not as many women find these subjects interesting!
I say some extremely quesitonable things to my female colleagues at work (joke of course). "that's a woman's job" "never trust a woman to do ..." "bitches be bitches" But I'd NEVER suggest that women are actually inferior in that way. What kind of message does that send?!
Depends whether or not it is true. There were plenty of complaints that girls grades overtook boys as a result of courses becoming more coursework-based than exam-based. I don't know if studies have been done on gender differences in these regards. Not really about inferior.
I'm aware of the notion that boys do better at exams and girls do better at coursework (one reason to explain why girls do a lot better at school now). But it does come across as insulting. Maybe inferior wasn't implied. Should they restructure grading so that its gender neutral?
Switch to x% coursework and y% exam based and keep changing percentages until an equal percentage of men and women get the top grades?!
I think a lot of studies would have to be done to see if this made that much difference but secondary to whether exams or coursework enabled greater retention of the material to be learnt.
