In this case it has become an ideology that often isn’t based on fact.
The women that posted about people telling her daughter she should consider nursing rather than research (in some ways very reasonable advice and nursing is no longer strictly a career path for women) also stated that male life expectancy is lower because men make bad choices. She stated it wasn’t biological it wasn’t neglect by society they simply make bad choices that result in their premature demise and that accounts for the difference in life expectancy between men and women. I pointed out that at every age the mortality rate in the US is higher for males then females. Can it possibly be that male babies from birth to 1 year of age made bad choices that resulted in their death. This is one of the mythologies of the feminist ideology. There are biological differences between men and women that impact mortality and behavior and many other things that can be claimed to not exist but in reality do exist.
I strongly support equality under the law for everyone. If there is wage discrimination then pursue in the courts. The DOJ has a progressive bent and they would love to nail a large US corporation for gender discrimination (except very progressive corporations maybe)
.
Women are a majority of the population in the US and a majority of the voters and actually control much of the wealth due to life expectancy differences.
It seems to me that the feminist approach is to scapegoat men rather than making women stronger. The more they can make women the oppressed and men the oppressor the happier they are fighting the glorious fight. Women need to be stronger within themselves and not blame men for everything.
If they continue to view the solution as feminizing men rather than becoming stronger as individuals the worse it will be in the long run.
Please just strengthen yourselves and fight when you need to fight but don’t demonize men. Most men have had a rough time in life also.
I strongly believe in self defense and if a man attacks you shoot him. The old adage was God created man but Samuel Colt made them equal. A colt firearm makes women equal also when dealing with a stronger violent man. Have a gun and shoot to kill any man that attacks you.
If you want to be eternal victims you certainly can but I don’t believe that you have to be. I love and respect women immeasurably and hope that you do put an end to any real inequities that still exist but don’t do it by demonizing men. It is just not a winning strategy.
