2	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" So here's the thing. I understand why you feel the way that you do. This subreddit is absolutely rife with people who have no idea how to communicate on an intellectual level. There's a lot of shouting at each other, echo chambers, and very little listening actually going on. Please understand, though, that this is how young men talk about their problems when communication actually happens. Calm and collected discussion isn't at the forefront of male communication when issues get heated. I'm not…	/r/MensRights	20/04/17 09:22 PM
1	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" Yeah you're right about that. If she's otherwise a good teacher, then she should absolutely be allowed to continue teaching. I think what pisses most of the people off in this subreddit is honestly the rampant hypocrisy that surrounds events like this. Most people responding in this subreddit are like you and believe that what she's doing is wrong, and rightfully so. However, what people are protesting is the double standard when it comes to the public's reaction to events like this. The whole p…	/r/MensRights	20/04/17 08:59 PM
7	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" I agree that it doesn't count as child abuse, but I think you're underselling this a little. Remember that kids are extremely impressionable and often times understand far more than we give them credit for. The first thing that they teach in schools is what is fair and how to share. I think those kids realized pretty quickly that they were being treated unfairly on the basis of gender by an older female that could turn into a lifetime of resentment towards female authority. AKA she might be bree…	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 03:26 PM
2	So, it seems the sub is being brigaded by feminists and anti-MRAs. Pay attention to how they converse and the debate techniques they use. Emma Watson also said that there's a pervasive problem with modern feminist movement that makes it synonymous with man-hating. And who knows, maybe the Rugby player she's dating is super nice.	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 03:16 PM
13	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" Imagine the situation reversed where the girls who wanted to play with legos were told that for their 40 minute playtime, they could not play with legos because legos are for boys. You have the exact opposite situation going on here. How about a minority group? Let's say the teacher told the black kids or the hispanic kids that they could not play with legos because legos are for white kids. You see the problem here?	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 02:47 PM
17	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" He said gender is not JUST a social construct. I think that this implies that he believes there are elements of gender that come from innate sexual characteristics and have nothing to do with how you were brought up. I would tend to agree with this statement.	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 02:41 PM
4	Kindergarten teacher finds Legos are good for cognitive development in young children and bans boys from playing with them in order to "close the gender gap" For elementary education? What state do you live in? I don't know anything about the field so I'll default to your expertise, but that seems like an ungodly amount of qualifications to teach elementary schoolers basic knowledge. Also, I think that many people here would consider the high school teachers who teach STEM subjects to be "in the STEM field."	/r/MensRights	18/04/17 02:34 PM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap I'm quite confident that a one of the major answers (if honestly is present) is that STEM is perceived as "too hard" Okay so we're both serious. Here's the thing. Perceived difficulty as a deterrent does not mean that women do not have the ability to handle it. You're making really large blanket statements based upon surveys which may or may not exist, and surveys are fairly unreliable when it comes to actual statistics. The only way to determine whether or not women are having a rough time in e…	/r/PussyPassDenied	14/04/17 02:30 PM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap You're also assuming that the professions being more profitable isn't what draws men in. My 2c	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 08:52 PM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap Not sure if you're a troll, but I'll take the bait. Are you familiar with the phrase "correlation does not equal causation?" Just because few women enter into STEM doesn't mean women do not have the ability to perform well in STEM. To say for certain that STEM being "too hard for women" is the reason why there are so few women, you would have to look at the number of women that do actually choose a STEM major and how many of them actually graduate. Another way to do it is to compare the average …	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 08:21 PM
