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

[Electrk.]

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

ah okay
I getcha

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

actually there's like at the most three girls in those classes

other girls just hate the class because its "dumb" and I don't see much discouragement for girls to take the career path in our school other than the trade is mostly males

idk if someone is arguing about separating gender or separating race but if you're supporting separating race please stop trolling

Where did Anita Sarkeesian say anything about racially segregated classrooms? I just heard her say segregated, which doesn't necessarily have to do with race. Sounds like OP is manipulating what she actually said. You should stick to the facts dude, stop inserting false sensationalist BS.

I love how Anita thinks that progress is achieved by going backwards.

Sounds like OP is manipulating what she actually said.

It helps when you actually read the OP.

This is a dumb way to think of this.
Feminism has existed for over 100 years in America. It's not like somebody "founded" feminism in 2015. Your argument doesn't hold up to when the movement was first named, so it doesn't work at all.

It's not about when movement started, things need to change or accept that they are no longer relevant. Feminism is about equal rights for women but now that there is a legitimate voice for other rights for men (seperate but equal) Humanism is what Feminism claims to be whilst Feminism by its nature still prioritizes women over men. Some would say that's the way things should be and I agree because I think that's what our true nature is - women and children first. But don't call it equality for everyone because it's not. That's my point. Not "they were named wrong back in the day".

EDIT: I just re-read your post to see if maybe I misinterpreted but you really did say my argument wouldn't hold up to the 1800s so doesn't hold up today. JFC.

woman supremacy = "equality" :)

Oh ok. Yeah my bad I missed that x.x

maybe i said it weird. let me rephrase it
my argument is
feminism as a movement started in the late 1800s
the movement has persisted since then
you can't really "rename" a movement or set of ideals unless there's some massive cultural dealignment against it which hasn't happened
so while the name "feminism" may imply favoring women, this is really just a consequence of it being named 100+ years ago when women had substantially less rights and the movement could justifiably be named such

We already have all boy and all girl private schools. I know public system needs to be fixed, but this is not the way to do it.
