Right the idea that my 13-year-old now thinks that she wants to be a boy is just online. Sure |
Could be because they are more selfish? |
I mean, if it is a backlash against college educated white women, what is your plan? I say this as part of the 53%. So 47%ers, what's your play here? I don't see a "so what" in any of this. People don't like the shrill, dramatic, self righteous tone of the feminine left. Is the move to just do it more and harder?
I was having these thoughts as Joy Anne Reid lectured me about how black women voted for Harris in substantially greater numbers than white women. Is that the play, to complain to Democrats that there are Republicans who share a demographic? I don't understand what this kind of discussion is intended to do. I know who I voted for. I did it on purpose. And then after the election, I watched MSNBC for like a week and laughed and laughed at everything they said. |
This is a joke, right? Or are you that blinkered by your own privilege? |
University presidents, full-time and tenure track faculty are still overwhelmingly (white) men. |
I am a college educated woman, and you are trying to ascribe a uniformity of thought amongst us that doesn’t exist. Many liberal college educated women that post on this forum are single issue abortion voters. They believe women have no rights if Roe isn’t restored on a nationwide basis. Many of these women insisted that women would vote as a block against Trump over abortion rights. However, that did not happen in the election, because a large percentage of us are not single issue abortion voters. Those of us that voted for Donald Trump rejected the liberal argument that we should vote on abortion rights. We found other issues like the economy and immigration to be far more important and impactful to our daily lives. |
DP. This is just something you tell yourself to appease your own ego. In fact, many college-educated types selfishly use their "morality" as a means to appease their own egos and need for elevated status. Moral superiority masked as benevolence is their currency. It's very cynical in a way. |
I’m sorry, who again is “obsessed with gay and transgender issues”? |
Globally, countries with a larger proportion of women in government leadership positions tend to have fewer population deaths by violent military conflict. It’s actually pretty closely correlated. My personal theory is that women in government leadership means that these are societies where women have more control over birth control, meaning that there isn’t a well of young men to send into the grinder of war, because birth rates decline. That leads to stability because the leadership prioritizes keeping the young men of these societies alive. It also leads to existential questions about population collapse, but if your goal for governance is, at a basic level, to keep more of your population out of armed military conflict, women in leadership have done much better. Essentially, women in government leadership roles is a proxy for a higher value placed on the lives of young men. |
I don’t think so, based on what I see. I think they place a greater value on family and spending time with family, and that makes them happier. |
The trouble with this is that it assumes that demographics are deterministic of ideology. That Kamala can use more hawkish rhetoric and Trump can use more isolationist rhetoric, but we should just ignore all that because girls don't like war. Is that what you want us to believe? |
And they dont send their daughters to college apparently. Ignorance is bliss. Only it is really not. |
I mean yes. What other society would you prefer to live in? While I don’t disagree with the PP, a lot of the nonsense that these College educated women believe are ideologies initiated by men: Anti - racism - Kendi Critical legal theory - Unger Marx Transgender/transexual - John money Intersectionality with Crenshaw is an exception. But yes, women are pulled into these nonsensical ideologies at higher rates than men. I believe the poster on the first page correctly attributed this to women’s long observed tendency to be more religious than men. In this case as an atheist I agree that they are better served following Christianity than harmful pseudo intellectual nonsense. |
Please post your source. There is a body of literature that suggests that female leaders have historically been more bellicose, owing to their insecurity and overcompensation for being perceived as weak. It's like those female cops that freak out, lose their composure and needlessly shoot people or escalate situations because they know they are physically weaker and need to somehow assert "control" over the situation. |
Some of that is a totally normal phase. It doesn’t always mean your daughter is trans. When girls go through puberty, it’s a rough transition. Society dumps a lot crap on girls. This whole thread is about the backlash against women. Why would girl want to grow up with the current hostility towards women? You’ve got a bunch of men, who never gave a ***t about women’s sports, suddenly pull a pseudo macho claim about trans in girls sports, which affects almost no one. But the turn around and elect serial predator Trump (adjudicated rapist and caught on tape saying terrible things about women). Trump turns around and nominates a bunch of deviants (sex trafficker, etc). So yes, what girl wants to grow up and deal with a society in which an adjudicated rapist is President?? |
