Let's look at AA from another perspective...

Everyone is aware that women are also covered under AA, right? So the playing field is "slanted" for them, too. (And FAF said there was nothing for Caucasians...pshaw!) From what I've seen and read, women encounter many of the same obstacles that minorities do. And keep in mind that there are almost 5 million more women in this country than men (2000 US Census).

Those of you opposed to AA, how do you feel about this? Should women-only colleges, high schools and scholarships be eliminated? Should "gender pride" go?

Also, have some of you out there been discriminated against because of your gender?

Discuss.
