The proposals were put forward to reduce the "undue effects of time pressure" which the prestigious university believe effects women more than men, reports the Sunday Times.
...I don't have a problem with it if they give more time to all the students. The premise that time pressure is greater on women than men is horse poop. Having spent a majority of my life waiting on mz ribit to get ready to go I can tell ya this for a fact.

IF THEY AIN'T SITTING IN THE TRUCK BLOWING THE HORN, THEY ARE NOT "READY TO GO"!

Oxford University has extended time for maths and computer science exams in a bid to help women get better grades. ...

Dons trialed the changes to allow women to achieve higher results, with just seven female maths finalists achieving firsts last year compared with 45 men.

The proposals were put forward to reduce the "undue effects of time pressure" which the prestigious university believe effects women more than men, reports the Sunday Times.

However, critics have slammed the changes as "sexist" as they believe it suggests that women are the weaker sex. ...

Sorry, but this move is far more than just a "suggestion" of weakness. Hate to break it to you feminazis, but ... FACTS ARE FACTS ... men and women are DIFFERENT ... in general, the skill sets of men and women are complimentary, not equal. It doesn't take a rocket scientist from Oxford to figure out this no-brainer - get over it, already!

I did get a chuckle out of one of the responding comments to the article at The Daily Mail (UK): 

"Great idea. I think the pass mark for female pilots should be lowered to 25%, to allow more women to be pilots. As a passenger, I am sure you know this makes sense. Happy landings........."
