Feminism contradicts an equalist society: discuss

" I've always thought of ducks as kind of sinister (their sex lives - no. Just no......."
Although subject of famous paper: " "The First Case of Homosexual Necrophilia in the Mallard Anas platyrhynchos (Aves: Anatidae)".......
which has been turned into an opera, and the chaps museum now has a Dead Duck Day........ I LOVE the Ig Nobels .

I think someone upthread (apols!) has come up with a much better question -- If true equalism as regards offending rates between males and females were achieved, crime rates could plummet overnight. Why hasn't this happened? Discuss.........................

I am also pondering the preponderance of objects of furniture as regards roll-top desk and writing desk? Was Atkinson paying homage to Lewis Carroll, why Cleopatra rather than a raven? And why is a raven like a writing desk, and why does the question continue to intrigue us???????

OP out

Oh no! .

Amazing!

Ah well, what I have taken from that is;

• It’s definitely true that some teachers struggle to not see the world as their classroom, AND

• There is zero point in trying to earnestly engage a poster of this kind as they just conclude this is evidence of their view being superior.

At the end of the day domestic violence is caused by many different variables

Blimey. There was me me thinking it was down to one partner asserting control in an abusive fashion.

Are you aware of the sheer number of women affected by domestic violence? You don’t seem to be.

Sociology teacher did you say..?

But that's exactly my point op. Care is associated with women, bodily professions and actions are classed as lower, and society and thinking is skewed towards autonomy, mental work and individuality. By having to choose between work and family, an injustice is done. It is the choice between mental work and bodily work. You say it is a choice we need to make, either sex, but why? Why is society set up so those who care and a relational and context based lose out?

I specifically discussed reducing the rate of male offending down to that of women.

Yes, me too - it would be good for women but even better for men. So, OP, why don't you put your equalist effort into doing something usefully equalist like that rather than wasting people's time telling feminists not to bother with feminism?

Finalised? Indented? For God's sake stop writing and start reading so you can improve your prose style. Your poor bloody students. No wonder sociology has such a poor reputation - wonderful subject but I hate to think what your students end up writing. Especially if that load of old cobblers by your student was graded highly by you.

Yeah, it's an easy typo to make (?!).

I’m interested that OP thinks that it’s wrong for employers to avoid hiring women of childbearing age or with children, but that that’s what she’d do if she had a business.

I don’t know if this is much of a recommendation of the equalist mindset - “I don’t approve of this but I’m going to do it anyway, and it’s close enough to equality so why are people still going on about it?”

Radical feminism is not about fighting for the sake of it. As far as I’m aware it is about questioning and fighting the sort of assuptions that mean that people are still willing to hire married men in their twenties and thirties, but not women.

The confounder here is that men are physically superior to women

Being stronger in a fight does not necessarily show physical superiority.

Men are completely terrible at the really important physical stuff like carrying and giving birth to the future of the human race.

You're not actually reading the responses properly.

I specifically discussed reducing the rate of male offending down to that of women. Which would resolve nearly all gun and knife crime.

Interesting that you're convinced that the goals of feminism are out of date, but you haven't yet identified any goals for your shiny new "equalism".

GCSE might now, they are desperate for teachers nowadays you know! My son’s music teacher is trying to teach him history and RE as well!

I'm guessing he means a 7, rather than a 1, for GCSE. Goodness knows what subject. Rather concerning that he doesn't know which way the numbering goes.

*ploppers not ‘plopped’

GCSE?

She also earned a level 1. (A in old money)

Does anyone know of a qualification for which an A would now be a level 1? I'm just trying to work out what age the OP is claiming to be teaching. Frankly I doubt any professional educator would repeatedly say 'were' instead of 'where'.

Lol... this is HILARIOUS....

You’re one of the more amusing MRA plopped OP well done!

You’ve managed to make many idiotic points without me having to stamp my bingo card at all!

What's the priority of your "equalism" then, @Equalist1?

Violence in society is a trivial non issue to you. I'd like to hear what your number one top issue is.

Tell me about these multiple societies where sex work is considered prestigious.

Hint: I don't count societies where poverty is so extreme that girls are sold into prostitution in a city so that the rest of the family can eat back in their village.

I wouldn't normally quote whatsisname who wrote the West Wing on a thread about feminism but as Amy said to Josh 'I have never, and neither have you, met a little girl who said "I want to be a prostitute when I grow up"'
