"(Racially) segregated classrooms improve learning" - Anita Sarkeesian

[ultimamax]

I already explained what I meant: separated while being taught, together during recess/lunch/break/whatever.
k
loveual dimorphism does exist; there's no "if" about it.
sorry, i phrased that weird. i meant loveual dimorphism in the ways men and women behave and learn. obv loveual dimorphism is real
What? I'm saying teaching them in different ways, not different things.
specifically?
No. It's not. Boys are falling behind girls in schools because it heavily favors their learning style.
how does it favor them?

Yea if you look at tech classes vs academic classes there's a huge flux of males in tech

a girl will go in there and have no idea what to do or not like it

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

yeah, people care more about women's issues because they're typically the less-equal party. obviously men endure social problems as well, it's just hard to make a compelling case for the sociological problems of the dominant groups in a society.

ofc this is arguably also because tech jobs are seen as more fit for males in the context of that culture

Especially with stuff like this going on (Note that there's more than one group of people making generalizations here.)

not just social problems though
there are plenty of legal issues too

this is the same as "the patriarchy affects men too!"

in the old days, men had formal power, women had informal power
women were key to the abolitionist movement and the prohibition movement, both before women had the right to vote

to say they didn't have any power is silly


also, if you're trying to say that men are the dominant group in society today, that is a laughable thought

ye ofc


i didn't mean 'dominant' in the sense of power vs. powerlessness

i meant it in the sense that, socially speaking, they receive either higher regard or higher opportunity in some respect over other groups, which men have historically had in relation to women. which is why (as an example) men had the right to vote and not women to start, because cultural forces created a situation in which men had greater potential for power

nvm I misinterpreted what you said

[otto-san]

i'm not sure if i understand what you're saying

i don't really think there's ever justification for inequality?


also, i want to reach understanding by talking here, not animosity, so if i'm being obtuse or antagonistic i apologise; understanding can't really be reached if all participating parties aren't working for it. i felt the need to say that cus i kinda feel like the tone of this conversation is a bit more heated than necessary but maybe this will just make it worse idk man

I misinterpreted what you said sorry
but my point about formal power and informal power still stands

because cultural forces created a situation in which men had greater potential for power

men had greater potential for formal power
women still had power, just not "formal"

yeah that last post of mine was kinda hostile
sorry

I just get upset when people try to act like men have it easy
I'm not necessarily saying you're saying that, but it just seems like you are

Have you ever tried to spell your name in the snow with your vagina?
It ain't easy bro.

I'm sorry I take back everything I've said

yeah, i get what ur sayin

ye that would be a p silly oversimplification of things
you can't really speak objectively about people's experiences. i get why it might come off that way when the focus is on women specifically, but it's not to intentionally downplay men's problems. the whole thing about dominant groups or w/e was mostly just to try and explain the motivation for that framing, not to try and promote it as a superior framing
