I'm shocked, just shocked. ;) i'm relieved to hear that it's simply a case of the reporter writing what she wanted to write, via a survey instrument with leading questions and the deliberate omission of contrary opinions from other female students. Well, sort of relieved. At least the students aren't brainwashed... but shame, shame, shame on NYT for promoting such a piece of schlock. Clearly the reporter was looking for just one or two women to give her the answers she wanted, so that she could manufacture a "trend". That's even worse. Heh - the NYT make up shit?
