[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worry a lot less about my daughter. I am not sure why.

Is it just because son is the first kid and bears the burden of all my hopes and expectations?

Part of me thinks it might be because I think it’s just harder for boys in the world in the long term. Girls mature faster and outperform boys so much in school, and also always have the option of an easier career or staying at home with the kids. To do well in a HCOL area like we do, boys eventually have to have a lucrative, high paying job and with that, there’s so much more stress on the academic and college front when they are younger.

And girls are just easier when younger based on what I hear. Fewer learning issues, therapies needed. Went past  a speech therapy office recently and the 4 children in the waiting room were all boys.

Anyone relate? [/quote]

The world is made for white males.  [/quote]

Yes even in this very moment, the world is very much made for white males and just because now they are being called out on their incompetence and white privilege, they are throwing a hissy fit and seems like their parents are throwing one too. Please take a seat and let others also take charge. [/quote]

Just out of curiosity, who or what exactly do you think made the world for white males?[/quote]

Are you seriously asking me this question? The white males made this world for white males by perpetuating colonialism, oppression, racism and misogynistic behavior. No that doesn’t mean every white male is responsible and must suffer consequences but  let’s at least acknowledge the basic fact that this world even today is a white man’s world and to say otherwise is downright foolish and ignorant.  [/quote]

So your official position is that white males “made the world” as it exists today, which is apparently good enough that you are desperate to not only be a part of but to be in charge of, therefore these same white males must “take a seat and let others take charge”…

Have you ever considered making your own sh!t rather than just demanding to take over and control what others (your contention) have made?[/quote]

I am so sorry you have such poor comprehension skills. Are you living under a rock? The world as it exists today is not “good”. Women in this country are fighting to get back ownership of their bodies, climate change is routinely ignored, basic rights such as education and healthcare are being ignored in this country because they need to spend all our tax dollars on the military and need to keep sending weapons of war to countries all over the world to keep the war industry flourishing. Yeah that is all done by white men so they need to take a seat and let others take charge because they have failed miserably. [/quote]

Well now you’re just being ridiculous.  The world as it exists today has many problems and is far from perfect, but (at least for the Western world) this is a great time to be alive.

But if women and minorities (ie everyone who is not a white man) want to take over the power structure here you do realize they could easily accomplish that as white men are not a majority in this country?  Stop waiting for white men to “take a seat” and just band together and TAKE control if that’s what you really want.

I do realize that endless complaining is much easier than accountability and risk-taking, but at some point you need to put up or shut up.[/quote]

You are either extremely naive or being facetioues. It’s probably a great time for you to be alive because you are a white male. Ask the women who are trying to cross state lines to get an abortion because the state insists on controlling their bodies. And it’s not as if women and minorities can create an insurrection and take over lol. That’s what white men do remember? They might be in the minority but they are very much in control and they quash down anyone who questions their authority. Seriously take a seat and shut up. [/quote]

I’m a woman, dummy.  You don’t need to create an insurrection, [b]just need to run for office and vote for candidates as a united front.[/b][b][/b][b]

Like I said, your type just likes to complain.  You have no solutions and you desire no responsibility.[/quote]

Yeah, because, you can see at the federal levels, women are so well represented and respected!

[/quote]

That’s our fault.  Women make up just over half the population.[/quote]
