Sexism is a good thing, the be honest.

2018-09-02 11:14:21 UTC  

how so

2018-09-02 11:16:31 UTC  

It's realistic

2018-09-02 11:16:38 UTC  

And practical

2018-09-02 11:16:50 UTC  

When implemented right

2018-09-02 11:17:10 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 11:18:04 UTC  

Sexism is basically acknowledging those differences and acting accordingly

2018-09-02 11:18:27 UTC  

Like only letting men in the military

2018-09-02 11:18:57 UTC  

Preferring women as early childhood educators

2018-09-02 11:19:33 UTC  

i mean if someone is able to do something and wants to do it then why shouldn’t they be allowed to

2018-09-02 11:20:01 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 11:20:57 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 11:21:13 UTC  

I value truth

2018-09-02 11:22:34 UTC  

Values do not come from logic, and what is logical depends on our values.

2018-09-02 11:24:43 UTC  

So, how do you find out what your values are if not from observation and evidence?

2018-09-02 11:26:57 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 11:27:04 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 11:28:14 UTC  

my values aren't really from any of those that i can think of personally

2018-09-02 11:29:19 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 11:29:56 UTC  

@ham addition Ideaologies can also have a value system.

2018-09-02 11:30:15 UTC  

that's true

2018-09-02 11:30:34 UTC  

i take my personal values more from my ideology than family, culture, or religion

2018-09-02 11:33:31 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 11:33:50 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 11:34:11 UTC  

yeah

2018-09-02 11:34:38 UTC  

anyway about the original question

2018-09-02 11:34:46 UTC  

what would you mean by sexism

2018-09-02 11:36:19 UTC  

Well, I have reappropriated the word "sexism".

2018-09-02 11:36:49 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 11:37:17 UTC  

what sort of things would you mean by that

2018-09-02 11:39:17 UTC  

Not allowing women as rulers, for example.

2018-09-02 11:39:34 UTC  

how would that be an issue though

2018-09-02 11:39:51 UTC  

What do you mean?

2018-09-02 11:39:57 UTC  

women being rulers

2018-09-02 11:40:28 UTC  

That is not their role, it is not appropriate for them to be rulers.

2018-09-02 11:43:02 UTC  

i mean, some countries' arguably greatest leaders have been women

2018-09-02 11:47:23 UTC  

e.g. elizabeth i/victoria, catherine the great, maria theresa, indira gandhi, margaret thatcher, cleopatra, etc

2018-09-02 11:48:01 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 11:54:22 UTC  

Take note on how most of those examples were monarchs.

2018-09-02 11:55:06 UTC  

They were born and bread to rule. Of course they would be atleast somewhat compitent even if they were women.

2018-09-02 11:56:02 UTC  

This does not change the fact that governance is not appropriate for women.
