[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this thread you know the posters are sexist if you replace males with females and you’d have second thoughts about expressing that in public.

There’s no problem if more women graduate college than men, but we see in a supposedly egalitarian society some different outcomes and we have to take a look and evaluate if there are some practices today, not in the 50s, that disadvantage men.

I can think of numerous announcements at my kids school for girls only, I strongly disagree with those. Without exception all of the books they read in English center on a female perspective. A log of teachers value social compliance more knowledge when grading.

But when your default thinking of gender issues is patriarchy, it shows that there’s not much room nuance and depth.[/quote]
No, not really. I have heard people diss women’s opinions and ability in public, and no one was fuming about it. At some point, we have to acknowledge that men DO have various reasons, but often do just laze around, don’t develop, and then complain the world is out to get them, and this is coming from a man. Applying yourself isn’t sexism.[/quote]
