First off, thank you for being respectful, however I have a hard time understanding how it is okay whilst under the guise of equality give away gender specific scholarships and benefits? I don’t mind women getting scholarships, honestly good for them! We need more women in our educated workforce, however restricting merit to a gender is simply incorrect.

I believe women are as capable as men, infact I hold my belief so strong that I hate when we often restrict many things to gender. Because it is INSULTING to do so, women and men can coexist as equals, and if a metaphorical stool is required for them jump the metaphorical fence, shouldn’t we instead lower the fence? Both can jump over just fine with no assistance.

I understand that it is a FACT that in some cases, it is natural for a male or female to be better at something. Take for example, childcare. Women are rebound for their ability to care for children for reason that their brains BIOLOGICALLY thinks different. Where as, a man thinks more linearly, tending to find solutions faster one way, while women can find hundreds of solutions in other ways. That is why men are great in engineering. There is really only one correct method and way, and we can find that fast.

This can also explain why STEM is a turnoff for many women, because usually there really is only one solution, and that can’t be changed. I can understand why we give a metaphorical stool in the sense of scholarships, because in this case the “fence” can’t be lowered. So we make it more accessible to those who want to jump it. I understand that.

My question resides in: why don’t males have a similar thing in female dominated careers such as childcare? If we want true equality we need to raise EVERYONE up. If you leave someone behind you are no longer advocating equality, even if the person is still above. What you do is raise the lower person up faster than the higher person, so you both raise, but the oppressed group starts to catch up.

Most of us don’t hate feminists, like how most feminists don’t hate men, but MRM exists because feminism forgot to raise is, and we are all human so we all deserve a better life. If gender blinds you then you are a lost cause. HUMANS need equality, not males, not females, all of us. That’s why MRM exists. The “faces of feminism” often forget that feminism is built to help all, so we decided to help ourselves.

Equality is NOT black and white, and is not a race, but still needs to be worked on on all sides.
