My daughter is now in university, studying for her Bachelor of Science.  She tells me that your reporting of the situation is really quite accurate, from her pov as an undergraduate.  And I've seen at first hand, when I was working in the public service, how I'd train young men to do a job, and then watch them use my teaching as a springboard to get higher up the ladder, into a job that I was better qualified for.  It was one of the reasons I left the public service, in fact, to move into the more female-dominated role of preschool teaching.

To be ruled by tradition just means that you're letting yourself be outvoted by the dead.
