However, I am involved directly in technical classes at a jr. college... the
ratio of women to men is VERY LOW at higher classes--this is fact--not
fiction--and my comment was more to that area... pointing out that
technical minded men just might miss female colleges...

... indeed, I think a sexist comment would be one discouraging women from
certain areas of society--not encouraging them--and pointing out they are
desirable to have there... or, a condensending/shallow/protectionist
comment for womens' benefits...

Warmest regards,
John
