'Increasingly modular education favours 'doers' over 'thinkers'.'

agreed.
To go back to Yasmins point about the exam marks proving that girls are academically more capable than boys; well if you're going off the trends in exam marks then surely that means that we are all getting more intelligent as time goes by, as exam grades keep going up. I didn't agree with that point at all.

Though its worth pointing out that i think Jack was either pissed (his sentence structure was infallable as it usually is) or he was tryign to cause a stir- as i often try to do on this site.

I've joined the officers traing core - i'm not an officer cadet in the TA (i'm an official soldier -PHAT AS) and it seems like a related issue considering the sexual politics in the army. I was talking to a senior officier cadet and he convinced me women will never be on the front line. It will never happen- though the way he worded it was crude and offensive (believe it or not i hate this sort of thing when its jokingly enough) i think he is probably right.
I personally think that men seem to be able to cope with stress better than women and furthermore men are less liable to panic.

Sayign this i think women often seem to be more motivated in terms of careers and so in terms of productivity this can be very useful. I hate it mind. In everyone, men, women and im sure there's some high-flying career-bent chimp somewhere determined to get to Mars or something. ('ambition makes you look pretty ugly'). But still we were talking about productivity i think and so i think this highly-driven career ambition thing can be useful.
