Feminism?

Rebecca-x · 2017-05-12T11:31:34+00:00

because they're horrible jobs, women

should NOT be working those kind of jobs. We deserve

better jobs and higher pay... the men can settle for the

scraps for all I care.

Not only this - but the most important statistic, workplace deaths and injuries are majority men. Men are far more likely to die or be injured in the workplace. I don't advocate for women to do dangerous work, but I advocate for an end to quotas in the workplace. The best candidate, regardless of gender, should get the job. I mean, we have laws in place to ensure that everyone gets a fair go.

To put it in a civil fashion, their definition and understanding of the term, "equality", is vastly different from ours.

Sorry little Suzy... women want equality, so you have to go work in the coal mines when you get older. But don't worry.. you won't have to wear skirts or high heals because those are oppressive...

I just drove by some pretty obvious road kill on a busy street, and after reporting it in I was reminded of this same kind of idea we see in society today. Surprise surprise it was a younger lady who answered the phone, and I can bet you a dollar it was a guy picking it up.

I think this is what Karen means when she said something like old school feminism was in bed with the patriarchy. They really go hand-in-hand. Feminists define what masculinity and patriarchy is: Everything negative that is and can happen to a woman. Then take every action they can to better their own circumstances. I think the bullshit you hear about girls in their 20s being OK with paying for the dinner or whatever is just a cherry on the shit sundae along with door-holding.

They take actions against this petty bullshit because they're already fucking treated like royalty by everyone around them. Her highness just wants you to treat her a little less royal.

Maybe the same argument that always seems to apply to women complaining about the wage gap applies here; they should go into STEM to make good money

So not this or this or this Those things never happen.

Is that mining picture legit? Seems like a huge breach of OSHA or something to be shirtless in that situation.

At least for the first one, Leslie Knope howls for equality

Qrintiprock · 2017-05-12T16:41:52+00:00

Well legally speaking, discrimiation laws apply everywhere in this country. So if a woman wanted to work the mines, she could. But who wants to really? I am a guy and have zero interest in doing so. In a workplace everyone should get paid equally. Whether it be the mines or the office. Thats what wage equality means.

duganaok · 2017-05-12T16:32:24+00:00

It isn't just feminism. It's our cultural mindset as a whole. This country has lost touch with the value of true hard work.

Commando_Joe · 2017-05-12T16:45:35+00:00

In Sudbury, Ontario, Canada there was a big push for women to be allowed to work in the mines.

It was basically the heart of our economy, and it protected Sudbury from the economic bubble burst for a good decade. I think, at least in terms of some grittier jobs, it's all about how it's framed locally.

poorpersonality · 2017-05-12T16:31:06+00:00

When people want equality they want things that they think are valuable but distributed unfairly. It's not just feminists, its everybody.

Blutarg · 2017-05-12T16:28:52+00:00

Exactly. Some "equality" huh?

Mallago · 2017-05-12T15:57:00+00:00

A petty, ignorant, bigoted movement.

Low effort image repost!

All that being said, whenever women do work in the trades there's not even a question of equality. If you're doing the same work I do for the same time you get the same money, end of story. Of course, that's simple to do when talking hourly wages vs salary.

BluePineapple19 · 2017-05-12T17:18:55+00:00

No one forces people to apply for those jobs..

"Almost 100%" is not a real percentage.
