Best universities for women?

Nunar@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 64 points –

I have a few daughters looking for science and engineering programs in the next few years. They're all scared to attend schools in states hostile towards women. I get that. I'm looking for recommendations for schools in states positive towards women that have good STEM programs.

Just study wherever and cross the state line if needed to deal with that. This is just fearmongering.

As if crossing state lines to deal with that isn't illegal in some places

Right to travel in the US. Courts literally recognise it under the fourteenth amendment's Privileges or Immunities clause, and the Commerce Clause. Get your head out of your ass, it's in your laws.

My head just might be in my ass, but none of that is in my laws, as I'm not a US citizen.

From what I've read online more than a few months ago, there were criminal charges in certain places for having abortions in certain other places where they weren't illegal. Maybe it wasn't for the people having abortions themselves per se (I don't remeber anymore), but there definately was a doctor sending aborion pills/information that was sued as well as some police sharing data and peoole getting in trouble shenanigans. Or just straight up people looking stuff up on the internet and being investigated for it. Chilling stuff, really, whichever way you look at it.

Also, with the way the US seems increasingly unstable (what with the Supreme Court doing whatever they please, more or less, as well as a potential 2nd Trump presidency), there's a high chance that the current status quo changes for the worse, i.e. some of the ammendments/clauses you've listed get selectively overruled for abortions, as well as more states getting abortion bans (perhaps even as a simple "No More Abortions, Anywhere" Supreme Court ruling).

Bro whats your problem? Just be lucky to have a dick. The world looks so much different when you have one.
