EXCUSE ME SIR, that’s a problematic gender stereotype

Women are just as physically capable as men, just look at women vs trans women in sports
Very few jobs require the extra difference between men and women to perform acceptably in the job.
Elite sport? Sure thing. Absolute limit jobs, i cant name any but im sure they exist. Sure, but surely they are the few and the exception.

So, logically the reason women dont get employed on oil rigs (assuming this is true of course) isnt because they lack the ability or fortitude. Its sumfing else. Here is a few points to ponder.
I have no answer cause there prolly isnt one.

Men hire, or at least create the rules.
Assume ALL women are like their aunt Rosie.
Never met a real woman who has explored her full physical potential.
Women may not wish to be exposed to the toxic (literal and societal) environment.

The good bit about this is you get to choose which applies. Or none.
Have at it.

Lol not really.

Ostensibly I *think* your point was that you agree with that article unsung referenced (derisively) about how math is racist or something. But I honestly have no idea what your point was, because you never actually make a point. You post some totally confounding nonsense and then say "my point is made!!". It's retarded.

All one then needs is a trouble shaped tool.

Itt: Confused libs shit on meritocracy as an ethos but then also insist meritocracy is being ignored for women because there isn't a perfect 1:1 representation of their population in every single job.

Uh oh there are fewer male college graduates than females! College hates men!

Actually, to not blow off your post.

Here is my simple interjection that, naturally, kind of changes what could logically follow next, and really, helps tame this beast you seem to have got barnacled onto you. The intervention comes early.



No. I can go on, or I can just say, no, let's get this over with. So here we go. Here is the early error corrected: "opining that the mind mirrors the objective reality we share" Not "make." Change term. "Mirror."

At that point, the problem is crystal clear and there is no time to bandy about "could Oprah understand this?" [NO].

Mirror of what? What are we seeing in this "mirror" that is how our mind works? If sciencce is a "mirror" of nature, that means it's just a reflection and what is nature? And what is the mirror?

CHaos is unleashed. AKA the next 200-ish years of western philosophy. It was kind of an Oppenheimer deal. The "cognitive explosition" is still going off. Woot!

Because here is what happened at the birth of modern thought (usually attributed to Decsartes but Bacon works equally well):
  1. good news all, we are confident the mind is like a mirror.
  2. ...
  3. what the fuck does that mean??

You see this, you see Kant, you see Hume, you see Hegel, of course positivism, you see even the phenomenologists, since they are *still* stuck on the "wtf is a mirror?" deal.

Only possible person who escaped? Dick Rorty, whom I've had the pleasure of meeting once a long time ago. But I think he just gets people to forget his "and that's fuckin it" part cuz he was a swell guy. A charmer. No nihilist he. Leibniz -- no nihilist oho! I think nihilism in the precise sense is the key concept to confront and disarm this century. We got to get clear on nihilism. It's bad joojoo.
Your correction is errant. Rosicrucianism is based upon insights gleaned from the Emerald Tablets of Hermes Trismegistus; it's a faith based system that asserts "magical thinking" reifies objective reality. Not "mirrors"; makes.

Furthermore, in this faith system, ones's ability to manifest, is contingent upon ones ability to exploit a cosmic system of service to others, as a kharmic fuel for serving one's self.

I think African Americans get apparently squished by guest matriculants in doctoral programs.

Quote:
Today almost
40% of US doctoral degrees go to non-US citizens, more than double the rate from 1970(Chang
and Milan 2012).
Which doesn't answer whether there's a problem.
