Off Topic / Re: "(Racially) segregated classrooms improve learning" - Anita Sarkeesian

there are a lot of things that are purely cultural. gendered objects or symbols and the sort (not claiming that gendered objects and symbols are the only factors involved in this, it's an entire process and many parts of a person's experiences contribute). boys being given trucks, girls being given dolls, this kind of thing isn't a result of natural inclination, it's just part of gender socialisation.
They are given these toys because they want them and naturally are inclined to
obv males and females are biologically different in many ways, but it's not really fair to people as people to try and cause a kind of arbitrary divide when humans are so amazingly capable of aspiring for a kind of complex self-actualisation that other animals don't get to experience or strive for
It's not arbitrary though, as I've pointed out.
i wasn't really meaning to say that. i was conceding ignorance, not superiority to ignorance
alright sorry
good lord dooble
Anyway, I agree that there are definitely exceptions to the rule. I think that if a student isn't performing well, then they can switch them over to the other learning style and see if they do better, if they do worse then they switch them back and go on from there.
Regarding the slippery slope fallacy you admittedly used, it is quite possible that the system could be abused, but that's why we have to make sure we're teaching both lovees the same things, just different ways.
School is also where a lot of social skills are developed. love-separated schools wouldn't go well IMO. This problem could be remedied by having love-separated classrooms instead of love-separated school though.
I already explained what I meant: separated while being taught, together during recess/lunch/break/whatever.
That being said, I'm opposed to love separated classrooms as well, because even if loveual dimorphism exists,
loveual dimorphism does exist; there's no "if" about it.
it would suck if a girl who wanted to be an engineer or a guy who wanted to be a writer or whatever was discouraged from pursuing that.
What? I'm saying teaching them in different ways, not different things.
I think the way we have it now is plenty fine.
No. It's not. Boys are falling behind girls in schools because it heavily favors their learning style.
well it's specifically targeting women because women make up typically the less-equal love
This isn't necessarily true. It's just that society cares more about women and their issues than men and their issues. There are plenty of countries with men's and women's rights issues. People just tend to focus on women's issues because nobody gives a forget about men's problems
I don't like feminism, I just don't like it, some of them are just so loving biased it makes me want to punch the water off my desk.
easy there, tiger
