Schoolgirls should be taught that men secretly think a woman's place is in the home, according to a headteacher.

"Have X believe that Y is secretly trying to oppress them"

If you teach paranoia, you will get paranoia. And along with that comes hatred.

If you want equality, you should teach equality. Not something else.

levelate · 2011-12-03T02:01:36+00:00

as long as sexism is allowed, why not teach boys that women think a mans place is to provide for her.

BinaryShadow · 2011-12-03T06:20:01+00:00

Like the tobacco industry, hook 'em while they're young! Fill their heads with paranoid nonsense about oppression. They enrolled in a college with 60% female student body with a female-only scholarship because the menz are oppressing them. Yep.

In the great tradition of women who think they can read men's minds.

Her poor husband.

if men are secretly trying to hold women down and the government is controlled by men, why does th government mainly hold men down?

The term "backfire" springs to mind.

Has she really thought this through? Does she even understand the repercussions of claiming to not just know what people "really" think... but of telling girls this type of thing?

DougDante · 2011-12-03T06:06:13+00:00

.... and their fathers, who don't want what's best for them, don't really love them, and their mothers are either duped or secretly think the same thing. Only their schoolmasters care enough to tell them the painful truth about their parents' lies.

OhioDude · 2011-12-03T11:34:03+00:00

Where is she getting her facts and who are these men who would want their spouse staying at home. I've been a single parent, I know first hand that it is much more important to have two incomes than just 1. I mean who are these men that think that?

As Levelate implied, it's a two way street. Teach the boys to avoid gold diggers who think that just because they are a girl/woman they are entitled to not have to work or contribute financially to the family.

Stay at home mothers are a drain on a family's resources. I dont' buy this bullshit you hear that to replace a full time mother you'd have to spend $100k just to replace all the services she provides...bullshit to that.

I didn't know I believe that.

Thank you, Dr. Helen Wright, for knowing me and my views better than I do. You are making a valuable contribution to society! /s

Women still think that in order to succeed in the world of work you need to be able to employ masculine traits.

Succeeding in business is a masculine trait in of itself...

yourebeingridiculous · 2011-12-04T04:12:00+00:00

Hm, I feel like the article's headline is far more inflammatory than the content.

haywire · 2011-12-04T11:48:27+00:00

President of Girls' School Association talking about sexism. Ironic much?

Ragnrok · 2011-12-03T15:35:30+00:00

False. I don't think that this women should be allowed anywhere near children.

2011-12-03T01:55:08+00:00

Sounds like she needs to take a piece of her own medicine.

Bobsutan · 2011-12-03T11:45:43+00:00

"Women still think that in order to succeed in the world of work you need to be able to employ masculine traits. This is nonsense but it has become a pervasive attitude."

I actually agree with something she said. Piggybaccking on that idea, I'd rather girls be given this advice instead though:

http://dontmarry.wordpress.com/2009/01/22/feminisms-terrible-blunder/

Cliffs: women climbing the corporate ladder and joining the rat race is at the expense of their own fertility. If they want kids it's better to focus on building a nest and having kids early on. It's better for the kids, better for their own bodies, and better for their career because it precludes a long break from employment to have kids. Overall it just leaves them more options down the road. Holding off until their 30s to have kids because they were too busy trying to compete with men for resources is a big mistake due to the natrual effect time has on women's fertility--and if we're being honest with ourselves, their looks suffer as well which will impact their ability to find a mate the longer they wait--all of which is coming to light as many women are starting to complain about in the media, such as what was described in Marry Him!

rockidol · 2011-12-03T19:09:48+00:00

Ok the title of this post is complete bullshit.

"girls should learn some men still hold old-fashioned views about women."

That is true, some men do think like that. She isn't saying that all or most men think like that, but some do.

This is a non-issue.

argv_minus_one · 2011-12-03T04:54:14+00:00

Just because a school teaches something doesn't mean the students aren't going to disregard it when reality demonstrates otherwise.

argv_minus_one · 2011-12-03T03:15:56+00:00

Why would a rational man want a relationship with an independent bitch that won't do anything? It's sick that a lot people actually believe people should be treated equally. Their place is in the home, just as they evolved for.

MrStinkybutt · 2011-12-03T03:01:13+00:00

I wish more men realized that women's place IS in the home.
