Lindsay Mitchell is bitching about some NCEA questions that our teen blokes and sheilas have to answer in order to appear edumacated. The gender agenda? It's not a conspiracy theory if you score 80%. I've listed some examples for you, and I do admit to using the satire tag here, but follow the links if you are man enough. But first, get the facts, ya big girls blouse:
NCEA GEOLOGY:
"Cities can be viewed as gendered, that is, parts of a city can be viewed as masculine and other parts viewed as feminine.
Study the 5 photographs and explain from a feminist perspective the way each of the particular urban areas can be viewed."
NCEA BIOLOGY:
"Bodies can be viewed as gendered, that is, parts of a body can be viewed as masculine and other parts viewed as feminine.
Study the 5 photographs and explain from a feminist perspective the way each of the particular body parts can be viewed as distinct parts, or as a whole."
MATHS:
"Numbers can be viewed as gendered, that is, some numbers can be viewed as masculine and other parts viewed as feminine.
Study the 5 formulas and explain from a feminist perspective the way each of the particular numbers can be viewed. Bonus: Explain why real numbers are masculine, and imaginary numbers are feminine. Explain why variables are feminine and constants are masculine. Discuss prime numbers and their role in long division"
ENGLISH:
Poetry can be viewed as gendered, that is, limericks can be viewed as masculine and sonnets viewed as feminine.
Study the 5 poems and explain from a feminist perspective the way each of the particular poems emasculate the historical dialectic, and pay particular attention to the symmetry in the following haiku:
All men are rapists
Lust for power and control
Destroys the flower
I could answer all these questions. But all it would prove is that I'm in touch with my femine side, and I'm not applying for a job in government.

You don't need to fight a "revolution" if you can shift the opinion of the next generation in the classroom.
