I find it interesting that you would respond to the ideal of a gender
equitable classroom in such a negative fashion. In such as classroom,
the individuals would be evaluated on their own merits rather than
established gender stereotypes about which gender should excel in a
given area. As a male, what would you find so threatening about being
on equal footing with women?
