If you do a systematic analysis of the Schweser Study Program, you will find that women and men are both equally used in the study guide and question sets. Such as “Susan is an analyst for XYZ firm and has just learned about some unethical behavior, what should she do?”…etc However, generally whenever the person in the question example does something unethical or stupid, the person is usually male…and whever the person does something ethical and smart, the person is usually female. This is quite irritating since it’s so blatantly obvious. If you don’t believe me just go through one of the sample tests and record every time a male gender is used negatively and positively…and do the same with female gender usage.
"However, generally whenever the person in the question example does something unethical or stupid, the person is usually male…and whever the person does something ethical and smart, the person is usually female. This is quite irritating since it’s so blatantly obvious. " Lots of people do this, the reason is because most women would get upset if it was the other way around, but most men are manly enough not to get worked up about trivial crap like this.
Generally I find most politically correct people are, in the end, sexist or racist. I think it comes from a belief that positive discrimmination isn’t in fact discrimmination it is just being positive and corrective. So for example, if you look for a scholarship for an MBA you could be confronted by ones only for black women, but you are unlikely to find one for white men. Personally I don’t understand what sex and race has to do with the need for sponsorship, nor Schweser text books.
Political Correctness is based on the assumption from lefties that the white working classes would run around screaming n*****r and kicking the cr*p out of everyone they see who doesn’t talk proper like what they do. Sadly, the ones who want to do this do this anyway and everyone else gets left with this annoying rubbish.
Stalla takes the high ground. They use really weird foreign names so you have no clue if the subject is male or female.
“Most men are manly enough not to get worked up about trivial crap like this.” This stereotype of the male gender is used so that women can get away with murder. I also believe that MBA programs are sexist and racist in having scholarships only for women and “under represented” minorities…thus excluding whites and asians. perhaps, this could lead to some offsetting behavior by white and asian males on the sly. these “scholarships” are a redistribution of wealth. In a sense, the tuition for everyone is inflated…anyone who doesn’t get a “scholarship” is subsidized by the white males and asian males. This is truly dispicable behavior. Luckily the CFA program hasn’t fallen prey to the “progressive” agenda…giving out “scholarships” to women and “under represented” minorities…as far as I know…or lowering their standards on the test (as far as I know). But I believe we should all sign a petition demanding that Kaplan be held accountable for their blatant sexism. Perhaps we can get a respectable newspaper to run an expose.
you got too much time on your hands
who cares…
And, let’s face it, 98% of the really evil and stupid stuff that’s ever been done has been done by men (OK, so women started badly with original sin, but then men picked up the ball and ran with it).
I feel sorry for the person who has to sit next to this guy during the exam. Oh, wait a minute, I’m assuming this is a guy because he made a dumb post. I must work for Scweser.
I think a petition to Schweser is going a little far. It would be pretty ridiculous to say “I petition that Bob CFA on page 112 should be renamed to Bobette CFA to distribute the sins evenly”. You have my support on matters of discrimmination that actually affect people such as MBA scholarships, but not really this.
according to tom leykis, women are evil.
