Sexism is a good thing, the be honest.
how so
It's realistic
And practical
When implemented right
It's just human nature, there is a fundemental differance between man and woman. This differance manifests itself in the roles of men and women.
Sexism is basically acknowledging those differences and acting accordingly
Like only letting men in the military
Preferring women as early childhood educators
i mean if someone is able to do something and wants to do it then why shouldn’t they be allowed to
I still like to give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes and acknowledge individual differences within the sexes, but most often it turns out my instincts were right
Sexism is, in the end, first and foremost derived from values. If you value equality then it would be a bad thing, however, if your values are derived from God and tradition, you see no problem in it.
I value truth
Values do not come from logic, and what is logical depends on our values.
So, how do you find out what your values are if not from observation and evidence?
If you think of MGTOW as a boycott until things improve, it's smart. If you think it's a permanent thing then you're delusional.
You can still argue for your own values, after all, most people don't realize values are not derived from logic. Values really come from your family, your culture and, hopefully, God.
my values aren't really from any of those that i can think of personally
If you value equality, you will see the differances of man and woman as a bad thing. If you value inequality, you will see it as a good thing. Both of these perspectives are equally logical, they both recognize the truth of the differance. However, they view it in different ways.
@ham addition Ideaologies can also have a value system.
i take my personal values more from my ideology than family, culture, or religion
but honestly it's mostly bc i don't believe my culture has any values in particular tied to it and i'm not religious
I derive my values from tradition. Why? Because I want to. You can list a bunch of things that you think are good with doing that, but, in the end, what you think is good is based on your values.
yeah
anyway about the original question
what would you mean by sexism
Well, I have reappropriated the word "sexism".
I don't mean that I hate women by it, but most of the things that are now seen as sexist, I see as good.
what sort of things would you mean by that
Not allowing women as rulers, for example.
how would that be an issue though
What do you mean?
women being rulers
That is not their role, it is not appropriate for them to be rulers.
i mean, some countries' arguably greatest leaders have been women
e.g. elizabeth i/victoria, catherine the great, maria theresa, indira gandhi, margaret thatcher, cleopatra, etc
you might disagree with a few of them, i know i certainly don't agree with thatcher, but you can't deny at least that they were good leaders
Take note on how most of those examples were monarchs.
They were born and bread to rule. Of course they would be atleast somewhat compitent even if they were women.
This does not change the fact that governance is not appropriate for women.
