Hypothetical situation: If I got a scholarship, and was later told that I only got it because I am a girl, I would be very upset, especially if I took away a scholarship from someone who deserved it more, based on merit. Had I got it because I actually was the best applicant, that's another story.
It's all about the attitudes like these that people have towards gender equality, and it's a very controversial topic in all areas [off topic]anyone else hear of the possibility of men AND women military draft if women want 'equal treatment'?[/offtopic].
