    For some reason, I read that as:

    MIT Names First Shemale President

    Case in point -- the article itself. Few people see anything wrong with MIT promoting one gender over another as long as the gender they are promoting is female.

    Who modded this crap insightful?

    ..... I was about to make a long post about this but I dont really have the energy so I'll just ask the parent if he likes being on the other end of the discrimination stick than he's used to?

    Or to make it absolutely clear: You seem to like it fine when the gender being promoted is yours?
