@PM_ME_UR_PC_SPECS can we continue that meme thread here?
BTW, who is chanty... Big Red?
Yes
She gives me an 'autistic' vibe. I think she is mentally ill withstand a side of extreme anxiety.
So who wants to debate the debating stuff?
Debate what?
How about this
Eh, not sure how to conduct a debate about that xD
Debate about what implications that observation has for society.
For starters I would disagree with the premise as I have seen women do that.
I'm against debates. Objections? :D
But even if it's "more true" what does it mean
@Men Are Human depends if I'm losing
Lol
Ok an actual topic with defined sides!
WOMEN HAVE IT WORSE
MAN MUST HUNT BIG DEER, MAN DO MORE WORK, MAN GET HIT BY SHARP SPEAR
MAN HAVE IT WORSE
Haha sorry about the caps I was just trying to have a formatted obvious title
TRUE DEBATE
Truly intellectual
Man have many woes.
I feel derailed
New topic with a less divisive start
"should the drop in men's entry to university be corrected by affirmative action"
oh interesting
No
Affirmative action is an incredibly blunt instrument to correct systemic discrimination. Much of the drop to men's entry into university is the result of men's choices and is not systemic. Even the parts that are systemic tend not to properly fall under the definition of discrimination per se.
no, affirmative action should not exist, if you want to focus certain demographics you should encourage them in other ways, focusing programs in disadvantaged areas
Moreover, increasing men's entry into university would not be, on the whole, beneficial to men. The debt burden is a real issue with university education, and jobs gained via university training tend to be higher stress and lower life satisfaction
This effect would tend to be worse for people who don't naturally qualify for the slot
A more productive solution to the university gap would be gender focused literacy programs in elementary and high school, as well as other accommodations in elementary and high school designed to reward and benefit boys -- though this will likely never solve the gap in its entirety.
Not that solving the gap in its entirety should ever be a goal unto itself
Nope. Affirmative Action is partly how we got in this mess
@asparkofpyrokravte in the UK you have to remember the debt burden is no where near as bad as other countries. It's also forgiven after 50 years
The cost remains somewhat comparable
though taking a year off of school does indeed decrease debt burden
