Female Dominated Field - Victory; Male Dominated Field - A Problem

Just wait. Like in the UK all these women will work part time and we won't have enough doctors.

I don't really care if a field is dominated by one gender. As long as the opportunity is equal the representation doesn't need to be.

Well that's the problem. the "opportunity" is massively and intentionally weighted heavily in favor of women at all levels of education, with financial support for said education, and with government-sanctioned hiring incentives and laws. Now not only is the outcome unequal, but the opportunity is unequal as well.

You want to talk about systemic discrimination? This is it.

OK I'm down voting this one on mathematical grounds.

They aren't celebrating the field being "dominated" by women but being 50%+1

There's got to be one sex or the other barely ahead and that's no big deal. Also you actually can find some fields dominated by women where this sort of captioning would really work.

Of course the whole concept is full of shit stupid because it begs the question as to why you'd expect 50% to be some sort of "default" value. It's especially ironic given that feminists like to pretend there's more than two sexes. Well if that's true then why is the default for representation supposed to be 100% divided by 2 = the number of sexes? And in general I find no attempt whatsoever to gauge the number of men or women interested in these fields. Generally at the sort of age young people leave college to enter a profession like this there'd be something like 6% more men than women alive. Later of course the women over take the men as society kills off the men faster and gives the women better care, but at this early stage there are more men so shouldn't that be reflected in whatever "ideal" proportion is suggested?

More to the point maybe you'd want to ask men and women how many had an interest in entering these fields in some sense. It's a complicated subject and you can't just ignore all that and pluck the number 50% out of the air.

Men can't be allowed to excel. Feminist logic = Harrison Bergeron logic.
