Again.... not answering the question, not reading the article. |
I read the article - so one Atlantic journalist makes a conclusion, and thus it must be? Next time, try engaging in useful dialogue rather than dismissing a question out of hand with an insult. you make assumptions much to quickly - perhaps you're not as smart as you think? |
You mean like all the pot smokers who contribute to murder torture and poverty in Mexico (just for their selfish desire to get stoned), but deny they are hurting anyone and can do whatever they want? |
Ok, now you're saying you know more than the Atlantic, New York Times, and the MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Union College scientists who came up with the conclusion? |
Probably because jobs used to require physical ability. But with technology, we are shifting to an information based society and leaving much of the physical labor to machinery or low skilled workers. Men were able to use their physical ability to accumulate resources, gain power and structure society in ways to benefit themselves. So it is the legacy of the origins of humans that keeps men in charge. It will take enormous societal and cultural change for women to gain equality despite acquiring the necessary skills to compete in an information based society. |
Disagree. It wont take enormous societal and cultural changes. The world is already shifting in that direction, the wage gap is expected to reverse. Men who's jobs are based around manual labor are experiencing incredibly high levels of unemployment. Compare this to computer based jobs and you have a clear winner in terms of usefulness to modern society. |
For natural selection to occur, there has to be a matriarchal society that competes against a patriarchal one, due to some resource constraint. And since we only just began to leave hunting-gathering about 12,000 years ago, we probably don't have enough data. Or, possibly all patriarchal societies have to succumb to some fatal flaw -- like the bomb. |
Yes, like that. Except for the fact that there are so many more women forced into prostitution than Mexicans killed by cartels. |
Maybe in first world countries with a high standard of living. Women and girls in third world countries still face inequality and violence every day. The Taliban have killed girls just for going to school. Gang rape in India is common. They don't have basic human rights because they are female. Their societies and culture keeps women in invisible chains. And the poor make up the highest percentage of the world's population. If the majority of girls and women do not have basic human rights or equality, how will we ever get to becoming matriarchal societies? |
| White males are slowly getting their come-uppance. |
True. Hopefully, as first world societies become more matriarchal, we will have women in positions of power who are eager to look out for the interests of women in poorer the nations. The horror suffered by women in the third world is truly unimaginable, and an example of exactly what can happen when a society is completely patriarchal and concerned mainly with the male interest. The faster these changes can happen, the better, though of course it is a long road. |
Yup. And they will pay for the millions of daily crimes they commit against women, one of which would be seeing a prostitute with no concern for her mental or physical health/safety. |

Men don't pay hookers for regular sex. They want freaky sex. Butt sex. Me and my friend and a hooker sex. Don't believe it's about regular sex.
It's not. They want what we won't do. Including being hurt. Plus ugly dirty men have to pay for it. What I always found amazing was a man getting off work, being dirty, tired, driving home and thinking, damn, I'd like a blow job. The only woman that will blow a dirty man is a hooker. |
Well if one these men wants to be "hurt", I am willing to provide that free of charge.

| Man here. Did it once while abroad, before met DW. 10/10 would recommend. |
