How is this not considered sexist?

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.

  • So its ok for feminazis to whine about open classes which just happen to be majority male, but its bad for a guy to criticise that his tax dollars are being spent on a class he cant access because of his gender. Ok.
