Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feminist psychologists protested that the witnesses had misrepresented and misused psychological research by using outdated data to argue against women's admission to the military schools. They did not suggest that women should be given a handicap or that differences between men and women should be ignored, but rather that the research should be interpreted correctly and that women should be given an equal chance to compete.
