Since it's the end of the school year everyone is starting to pick what classes they want to have for the next year. I've always been big into computers from building them to programming them. I'm not very good at programming computers so when I saw the class in the booklet full of classes I could take, I wrote it down. I read further after the first sentence and it was perfect until I got to the bottom. It said,
[quote]This class is only offered to females [/quote]
What? Why is this even a thing? What's the logic behind making a computer programming class female only? I'm confused as to why this isn't deemed as discrimination and is seen as socially acceptable.
Edit: I did ask why and they said they wanted to "steer women into the field by offering a class with others of the same gender to make them more comfortable" or some stupid reason like that. It still doesn't justify why they didn't also make a class for males.

Is there the same class also offered for guys?Cause if not then that's ridiculous.I get they want to encourage female participation in that sort of thing,but disallowing males is the dumbest idea and I don't see how it could possibly help.
