I don't deny that the environment and method is more suited toward the way girls learn, but without the bias by itself I do think there'd be a marked improvement to at least bring boys up to the same level. I'll agree that the bias varies and it's not the only factor but it's not like it's a small factor
Yes, I agree, but I also think that many of the factors need to be addressed
Protocols need to be put in place to reduce bias
Other methods of learning need to be incorporated into the education system
More services need to help men, or just everyone neutrally
And more men need to be admitted. Though that might be fixed by fixing the above
Some of the services which are aimed at boys in education also need to be scrapped. The rate at which boys (and some girls too) are diagnosed with ADHD or other disorders and medicated simply for being themselves is way higher than the societal average
Yeah, misdiagnosis of ADHD for just ordinary boyish behavior is a huge problem
The real problem lies with the education system
We need to bring back recess and allow more experiential learning in schools among other things
Very well put. I've also seen the increases in certain departments. Humanities is definitely higher up there in female participation.
But what about philosophy?
What we claim as the intrinsic ability to delve into ourselves, the constructs we create and the nature of the universe. It would seem that the supposed evolutionary advantages should incline more women to participate. But I hardly see anything that's not Feminism based.
Heck, we had two male based ideologies spawn from what it took women 60 years to cultivate. MRA and MGTOW. And technically INCEL if you want to count it.
In all of my days at the university, I have found it such a challenge to get a group of women to sit down and discuss philosophy. Open ended without being forced by a professor.
But if you just give a hand full of cannabis or psychedelics to a group of men and eventually the conversation turns to philosophy.
The point I'm trying to get to: Trying to make a basis of biological evolution for the way that either men or women interact with our current society is folly. There are too many conflicting variables.
I like this
this is,good
good job
I find it preposterous when anyone tries to claim that were growing as a society because of the increased female numbers in higher academia. Are they flocking to the four cornerstones that enhance our society? (Politics: Systems creation) (Economy: Systems maintenance and resource allocation) (Technology: Systems enhancement) (Philosophy: Human improvement.) No.
They are flooding humanities (Definition of what a human WAS) and Medical (Human maintenance). The humanities flooding allows them to start altering the viewpoint of what humans were BEFORE, and use that as a rational of why we should be doing what they think. It’s like if I didn’t like the house I built, so I went back, misinterpreted the blueprints, and sued the builder for doing it wrong.
That is NOT a healthy way to build a society.
@Silver_The_Bard Women aren't evil, just feminists seeking to inject their ideology into completely unrelated fields
I'm sure there are plenty of non-feminist women in the humanities and many other fields
And of course most feminists are completely normal and good people. So a fraction of a fraction.
Indeed, but I still feel that feminists in general are misguided but I'll leave that for another debate
Also, some humanities fields aren't just about the background of humanity or society
Psychology in particular covers the human mind and behavior in general
It's just as applicable today as it is to many years ago
Good people putting themselves under the banner of feminism, only gives credibility to the 'top' feminists who actually influence and institute policies which are sexist and harm men. Therefore I dont really care who you are, if you call yourself a feminist, you are my enemy.
The definition of feminism in the dictionary is as follows:
1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests
Definition 1 seems harmless enough, but definition 2 makes it clear that this is a women's movement
Correct
feminism is for women
Their argument is equality, but the only care about women
Which normally would be fine, provided men get their own movement
Problem is feminism fights against that
Not because they oppose men's advocacy though
Because MRAs are sexist AFATK
Doesn't matter what their reason is. That they oppose equality and won't listen to other arguments is the point. Why is irrelevent.
