“
[F]or the first several years the SAT was offered, males scored higher than females on the Math section but females achieved higher scores on the Verbal section. ETS policy-makers determined that the Verbal test needed to be “balanced” more in favor of males, and added questions pertaining to politics, business and sports to the Verbal portion. Since that time, males have outscored females on both the Math and Verbal sections. Dwyer notes that no similar effort has been made to “balance” the Math section, and concludes that, “It could be done, but it has not been, and I believe that probably an unconscious form of sexism underlies this pattern. When females show the superior performance, ‘balancing’ is required; when males show the superior performance, no adjustments are necessary.”

#connections go both ways #dont try to tell me jim didnt know #know what was going to happen the minute he realized it was khan #he knew spock died #and he would do anything to prevent that #including sacrificing himself #so that spock could live long and prosper #and maybe just maybe #theyd figure out a way to bring him back #i made myself cry #where is the fanfiction (via: jimkirksass)

Exactly what was going through my head in that scene, tbh.

Diplomatic issues aren’t the only crises Jim has to deal with.

The Enterprise is on Crack series

This is actually completely accurate though.


I should probably just change my description to ‘in a hate-fueled relationship with Star Trek XII’
