Sexist Sydney scholarship

"Of this year's graduate entry for the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students, over 90 per cent of the intake is expected to be female. This is a trend seen over the past five years along with an increasing trend away from rural practice."


But the harpies are still screaming.


However, this isn't actually a diversity drive to redress the "sexist" imbalance, favouring women. 


This is to address the crisis in rural communities, especially farming, which supply the export economy and urbanizations with meat and dairy.


Most female vets work with little fluffy pets in sanitized urban safe spaces; they simply shun the tough life of the Australian bush.
