"Humanistic"
Is this is for both men and women???

I used that word deliberately. It has a special meaning. Humanistic is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "pertaining to or characteristic of the humanists or classical scholars of the Renaissance; classical".
I know this because I have it opened in front of me as I type this.
So, when I say "humanistic" program for learning, I am trying to suggest a learning roadmap that would have the approval of the great scholars of old.
This thread is a spinoff of another thread on the decline of learning in the humanities field. Hence the connection.
Would women benefit from this kind of education? Yes. But I don't presume to give advice to women. Nor would they accept it from me if I did give it.
I suspect that if the modern feminist knew what was in the pages to some of those great old books, she would have a heart attack.
