We can't defeat the white male patriarchy, but we can rather handily stamp out a bunch of unhappy, lonely women suffering the delusions of a grand ideology.

There is a certain level of financial security people need before it statistically has little impact on their happiness...lets just everyone to that point and I swear I'll drop the issue.

I think this is the primary source of anger and the reason a safety valve is needed.

Great, the primary source of anger has been identified. What is the secondary and the next and the next and the next?

There will always be something to complain about because of fundamental unhappiness at the core. There is little that will fill that hole inside the chest.

"Man why do you smile, don't you understand how you are being fucked over by the man? I don't get it?? what makes you happy you damn idiot? for fucks sake you are a moron that just lays there. Why don't you base your happiness on things me and others value... looks at all these blah blah blahs... don't you get it, don't you understand the blah blah blahs and how important they are? Education, you see education is the key and you are happy only because your feeble mind cannot grasp the complicated issues that would make you sad."

Why fix any problems when more problems will just come along? We all need to accept things exactly like they are..now...in this arbitrary moment.

Loramin you ever seen a black baby dance? You ever seen a horse give birth to a little baby horse? This is called genetic inheritance and it has to do with evolution. It’s how animals pass on survival instincts.

Humans pass on their gender rolls the same way, kids have natural interests in things based on their sex.

So it’s a genetic mutation that we’ve evolved into.

If you want to play Himmler and try and breed it out of society then by all means, become the tyrannical liberal authoritarian we all told you you’d evolve into and why we need the second amendment.

Wow Mick, that's a new low even for you. There is absolutely no science whatsoever behind your "genetic black baby dance" theory: it's pure and simple ignorant racism (just like craniometry).

Women do not need the approval of men to get involved in STEM fields. I will even argue, even if they were "discouraged" into applying to STEM fields(since when have you heard a modern man discourage a woman into going into this field? in fact it's the opposite).

On another note, gender roles have done nothing but good for society. Scientifically speaking, gender roles as they are now, are paramount to happiness and social functionality.

Luxury as it creeps into the "Strong men make good times, good times create weak men" I feel we're going into this phase and we will repeat it.

"Nothing but good" huh? So the women in Arab countries who can't leave the house without a male guardian ... that's good? Or the fact that women have been male property for most of human history ... that's good? Maybe if you're the gender that gets to do the owning, but not so much for the people being owned.

As for men discouraging women from STEM ... obviously it's not the way it was back in (say) the 20's, when men actually told women "you can't do _____." Back then it was explicit; nowadays it's (usually) far more subtle

Try to imagine if you went into a classroom and it was 95% female: would you feel out of place? What if every class in your major was like that?

Or what about long before you go to college: think about all the female scientists and engineers in movies. Studies have shown that only around 20% of scientists in movies are female, and even when women scientists are shown they're more often foils to male protagonists. And then there's:

Flicker has written about the cliché of the male scientist, who comes in various guises. He can be a hard and diligent worker, sometimes obsessively enthusiastic ... he tends not to be particularly attractive, typically resplendent in glasses, a lab coat, and tangled hair .... But it's with looks that the discrepancy becomes really obvious. The female film scientist tends to be gorgeous. In Flicker's words, she is "remarkably beautiful and, compared with her qualifications, unbelievably young. She has a model's body -- thin, athletic, perfect -- is dressed provocatively and is sometimes 'distorted' by wearing glasses."

In other words, there are no men saying "you can't be a scientist", there's just a whole society teaching us lessons through the movies we watch, lessons like "women don't belong in science, they belong looking pretty".

Thankfully, society is complex and we've evolved to the point where we also teach conflicting lessons like "grrrl power", which is why we have the women we do have in STEM (vs. almost none back in the 20's). We've made progress, but women are also still far under-represented, and it's not because "the man" is literally keeping women out of STEM, it's because of our society and the lessons it teaches us.

Pearson was doing damn good in that Cathy Newman interview...until it got the part where he had to admit that he was comparing trans protestors to Mao Zedong...and then obviously had to lie that this wasn't done to stir up controversy.

You can even see him fire up a bit when he starts talking about the THE LEFT TRYING TO DICTATE LANGUAGE!!

An acorn isn't an oak tree. And these bitches are no Mao Zedong. The segue from his lobster comments was masterful too.

Mao would never put up with any of this modern identity politics shit in his country*...and there is no parallel. If 1 women out of 100 men score the same on the tests...then there is 3 women and 297 men in that Chinese classroom.

That's how Mao rolled...that's how it still works.

He's also wrong that power doesn't make you happy...just because you have to cycle through partners doesn't mean you aren't happy as a clam. Serotonin make you happy, exerting power gives creates serotonin.

*He supported 2nd wave feminists concepts like everyone with half a brain in the 60s. The modern identity politics movement is a bastardization of identity politics as they existed in leftwing thought in 1800's-early 1900's.
