Re: University courses that use the scientific method are hostile to women and minorities (not enough subjectivity)

In evolutionary terms this is not without some credibility. For most of our existence the male tribe members had to think more of the band or tribe as a whole and logically tackle the environment to increase survival, this is where the objectivity comes in. Whereas females were tasked with their own specific family units and rearing their own children and this is where the subjectivity comes in.

So while it's entirely reasonable to say both genders can think objectively and subjectively, I would agree with the idea that objectivity has historically been a more masculine approach while subjectivity has been a more feminine approach, and this takes place on a biological level.

As our entire educational and knowledge-gaining system has been controlled by men for thousands of years it revolves around the concept of objectivity, as it should. So I'm not that surprised that a feminist student would one day question even this standard which one might have assumed would be beyond reproach. They want to 'deconstruct' everything 'masculine' and 'patriarchal' so naturally even the concepts of logic and objectivity are in the firing line.
