1	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? I was referring specifically to equal rights for women in the work place - which I agree 100% with - but as used as the basis for later thought, the un-addressed problems 'lower classed' men face in employment are a problem for the current identity politicking of the relatively 'middle class' feminists. (In a way the argument is similar WOC have against some 'priviledged' feminists too; not to disparage or relativise their plight in anyway). I think I agree with most of what you state, although …	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 07:02 PM
1	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? Firstly it is a very simplified view to take, secondly the idea that being from the US means that you don't interfere in other countries is absurd/	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 06:41 PM
1	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? True, I don't think anyone is blaming feminsts for the problem, but it is a problem if you say you are advocating for equality to only concentrate on one side - effectively ignoring some of the worst off.	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 06:38 PM
2	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? I think to some extent those experiences would be true whatever the gender, life is hard and these men have to deal with it.	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 06:34 PM
5	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? Why is there a gated floor that men fall through, but not women?	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 03:40 PM
1	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? \| I'm from the US, so I'm pretty much only going to make demands in my own country. Off topic, but I love the U.S. sense of humour.	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 03:34 PM
5	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? For arguments sake: How could an ally deny the reality for a large number of people -- going so far in refusal to even see their position in society for what it is?	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 03:32 PM
2	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? Okay, but I don't think anyone here is denying that they don't exist in small numbers.	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 03:27 PM
3	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? Personally, I don't tend to encourage anyone to take manual labor jobs because I was raised middle class. Do you not see that as manifestly part of the problem?	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 03:17 PM
5	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? It is fair to say that men are over represented in all aspects at the bottom of society, if you are going to play identity politics you have to deal with this fact.	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 03:00 PM
5	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? Whilst personal anecdotes might be the beginning of data, they aren't valid statistics; it is fair to say that in general some men work work in more dangerous jobs than women. Sylvan and others aren't saying women don't exist in these categories, or that accidents don't happen, merely that they are under-represented and a that push for equality has to be a bi-directional movement. (I personally know a butcher who cut off a finger, but isolated examples don't prove anything...)	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 02:53 PM
6	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? Her sexuality is really not relevant...	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 11:58 AM
5	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? This is a question that seems to go right to the heart of second-wave feminism, as to even broach this question would mean having to admit that most women are inherently privileged over a large section of the male population. To admit as much would erode the foundations of much of the identity politics many promote today.	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 11:56 AM
4	Why don't feminists try to encourage women to take jobs in mining, logging or construction, all of which are heavily male dominated? Those are quite clearly statements and this post is quite clearly a question. Instead of attacking the question or providing personal anecdotes, provide evidence that this is simply not the case. Your first post states that people fall into these jobs; men don't take them as a result from encouragement - why would women not fall in to this line of work like men or even need encouragement to take them?	/r/MensRights	01/03/09 11:54 AM
