Am I crazy?

We need more brave and strong women to apply to be sanitation workers!

You're not crazy. Its 100% what's happening. Funny thing is, if they ever want men in their personal lives, they sure as hell don't mind the money he makes if he excels in a certain field.

The tinmen account had a good post on this the other day. He highlighted how 80% of the top pianists are male and listed a litany of articles complaining about the sexist gender gap.

Then he pointed out how 75% of the top viola players are female but no articles or uproar about this gender gap. And nor should there be because it's absolutely fine.

It's a really good example of the hypocrisy embedded in western society.

This is a feminist narrative. You are not crazy!

Yep I see it all over, women are in competition with us, y’all need to stop worrying about love and all that other junk and start thinking about how to be better than them. Especially given the handouts they’ll be receiving in the workplace and in school you need to do more to stand out, it sucks but right now we aren’t making any leeway for the discrimination men face in the educational system or in the workplace.

Definitely not crazy, just average feminist logic in today's society.

People only want equality when it suits them. Nobody wants to be the hobo on the street, or the lamb in the slaughterhouse. Feminism, as the name suggests, is there to help women.

Not wrong and also it’s a methodology supported by the United Nations. In calculating its gender equity scores for countries, any time women have the upper hand in a given category for a particular country, they simply classify the country as having achieved equity for the category in question. This is true even if women have vastly higher outcomes than men and there are no means to quantify anti male discrimination. Source: “Of Men and Boys” by Richard Reeves

Society wants the best for women, therefore it's completely ok if women are the majority on some fields, everyone celebrates that. However when men are the majority in some fields then it's problem. Of course it is, because society want as much women as posible in every prestigious field.

You may argue that's not fair etc etc. Society doesnt feel that way. Society wants the best for women and therefore, women being less than men in some fields is a bad thing, but men being less in some fields is always great. And there is no way you can argue otherwise.

Until women compete in the same market with the same rules you cant prove they do anything better. At this point my “malicious compliance” is turned on and I automatically assume that every women in management positions is diversity hire based on laws such as this.

Not in my world my company rewards work ethic. But it’s not like that everywhere for sure. Trying to meet quotas that’s kind of cringe when it’s like we need women for x,y,z.

Your not crazy

Academic-Date-5493 · 2024-04-10T18:11:40+00:00

women have been historically oppressed and not able to work and seen as property while male dominated spaces have always been the norm

dampwaters · 2024-04-15T09:49:41+00:00

It's because historically women were excluded/discouraged from those professions, so it's nice seeing women excel in them to prove that women are just as capable and worthy of being in these spaces.

I think you're looking at it incorrectly. Not "better at", but rather, "predominated by".

And the "wrong" or bad thing, how/why that's the case.

Nasty unfair treatment, major and systemic discouragement, etc. - generally considered a bad thing, and that applies to many areas (e.g. at least historically to STEM careers, though not as much these days in days past).

So, if you take for example some rather different areas, like some major back-busting dangerous labor jobs - you'll also see predominated by men, ... but generally not due to some systemic unfair treatment of women. So you see women clamoring for and complaining that they're being discriminated against obtaining those types of jobs? Yeah, generally don't see that.

Likewise take some jobs that tend to be predominated by women and that are long hard work, very low pay, not much career potential ... and no, not lack of men due to any unfair hiring practices or the like. Do you see men clamoring for those jobs and hollering about unfair discrimination there? No.

So, it's not about "better at". It's not even about "predominated by" - at least in and of itself.

Where it becomes issue is "predominated by" and that being the case due to unfair practices ... and regardless the genders.
