Equality of outcome collective punishment/self-confidence destroying identity politic advancement and self-righteous, vindictive chip-shouldering fall under the category of: "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

I still ponder the logic, intentionality or unintended consequences for why, when I was a kid, I was forced bused 90 minutes (3 hours a day both ways) to a gang-infested, "magnet" school in the height of the CIA-affiliate-backed crack epidemic and gang war when there was a perfectly good school one block away from where I lived. Maybe it was a consequence of vacillating public policy fashionablism that arbitrarily and capriciously rewrote and reworked systems that were both sabotaged and ignorantly reorganized. I previously attended a private school that explicitly didn't go along with the public school's abandonment of practices and techniques that were proven to work. Public schools implemented sweeping changes with little or no scientific evidence for their effectiveness nor risk management.

It's not just that it's insipid. More importantly, this sort of thing makes it just that much harder for the women who have been killing it to be taken seriously.
