That's an awfully bi chip on your shoulder. (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun.) My gender and orientation is irrelevant to the argument, as are yours.

I agree that scholarships for women would help, but I'm curious -- why is subsidizing students based on gender okay, but hiring professors based on gender "disgusting?"

FWIW, I think subsidizing students based on gender is just as disgusting.
