Hoi, The only point for this experiment is that there is not enough bandwidth to cope with all the requests for funding as it is. The idea is that by concentrating on one area it is possible to do more. The argument against is that it is highly demotivating for everyone that finds its request for funding on hold. In addition, there is no continuity for a subject once its period of attention is over and another subjects gets the "treatment".
Thanks, GerardM

Where is anyone whining about this? Nobody here is. The point being made is about why other grants are not being accepted.
So, to summarise:
"Please, let's stop complaining on the basis that this excludes men" "Where is anyone doing that? We're complaining on the basis that this excludes men".

IEGs), is incredibly tiresome.

accuracy, but I am quite happy to take Fred's word for it. Offence is often available if you search for it hard enough. Cheers, Peter

I've noticed that women are often quite motivated and good at

Extending good faith I would presume this is irony. It does not

appears.
