150 Sexism in engineering [May Subd Geog] [sp2012000707] (C)
550 BT Engineering
You know what's weird? Id.loc.gov lists 35 Sexism in… headings and 48 Sex discrimination in…" headings. The scope note for Sexism reads, "Here are entered works on sexism as an attitude as well as works on attitude and overt discriminatory behavior. Works dealing solely with discriminatory behavior directed toward both of the sexes are entered under [Sex discrimination.]"
Not for nothing but "discriminatory behavior directed toward both of the sexes"? Uh, yeah. Most discrimination is against "both" sexes (as if there were only two).
