Has this list become a "help Debbie do her homework" list? Why don't you 
read a book? Clearly you are in a class and the teacher wants you to 
learn something and has provided some materials for you to study.

Great speech but its nonsense isn't it? If you are a woman or a man, who 
is willing to fight to understand a hard subject, then why don't you 
simply spend some time studying and pondering, and in that process you 
will learn the subject and learn to think more analytically. By taking 
the easy way out and getting on a list like this, and asking everyone to 
do your work for you, you are not 'fighting' but rather taking advantage 
of people here, and your classmates who don't have access to this list, 
and your teacher who is hoping you'll actually learn and study on your 
own.

Frankly, I think your comments are the most sexist of any I have ever 
read on this list. People sometimes make jokes or comments which are not 
meant seriously. However, here you are, basically saying "I'm a <dumb> 
woman, so please help me....because I am a woman". I find that offensive 
to all women. Instead of pandering, winking and smiling, you should be 
demonstrating that you have the same level of intelligence and talent as 
men. Have some dignity and do your work the same way we all had to do.
