Best universities for women? (lemmy.world)

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.

As long as it's not a state university. The Florida government is doing all in its power to put their state universities to work as conservative ideology factories.

They are trying, yes. I have a kid at a state school in a science major and she isn't getting any of that. The one in high school is getting ripped off but honestly they do call the kids by their chosen names and just ignore a lot of the culture war rules.

I think it's hitting the K-12 education department at the universities harder, and anyone coming here for an education degree is making a mistake already.
