That's the problem with systemic oppression, it continues on. Just like prejudice and cognitive biases. Did you ever read about how orchestras had low numbers of women musicians until they switched to blind auditions? Magically overnight women became better musicians.

Do you think if any of these miscers were in charge of hiring women they wouldn't already be consciously/unconsciously biased already. All this "master-race" crap, you spew it long enough you believe it.

I'm not race-baiting, but do you honestly think the day after the emancipation proclamation that all the racists just stopped being racist and gave everyone a fair shake? It took a hundred years from the end of slavery to end segregation.

As for women, it was only a generation ago they couldn't even open bank accounts in their own names, or get hired onto jobs besides basic things like secretaries.
I don't know either lol

But what does any of this have to do with creating something? Do you really think that someone the same age as Zuckerberg that was a woman or anything other than a white male wouldn't have been able to come up with ******** because of "systemic oppression"?

Way too many excuses, way too much victim mentality

Well it's always easy to think that when you've never had to experience it. Trust me, as a straight white dude I used to think the same way. A lot of women do have great ideas but they get talked over, ignored, or have someone else take credit for them a lot. Not always, but still quite often. Trends are changing and you are seeing more and more women emerging in previously male dominated places.

I'm sure there will always be jobs that women gravitate less towards, but few things that they are incapable of.
I don't know either lol

I still don't see many women being the best at anything, or at least at very few things. Just anecdotal, but I've worked with plenty of women, and 9/10 of them suck. A lot of them just don't have the drive, ambition or work ethic. Anecdotally.

Take the field of astronomy for example. A hundred years ago women weren't even allowed to operate telescopes. Today someone like Andrea Ghez is in the top of the field and used star orbits to prove the super-massive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Imagine if women had equal access to the same stuff hundreds of years ago?

I think women have made huge strides considering it's only been one or two generations of "equality"
I don't know either lol

Assuming that was true, why was it us 'oppressing' them and not allowing them to do chit rather than the other way round?

It's not like Adam and Eve weren't both given equal chances to go and oppress one another when they were created. Nomsayin?


Also, did you vote for Hillary?

Yeah it's not a very popular thing to talk about but there's a reason there is an oppressor and an oppressee. It's not all just chance

Have you tried looking harder? Not being an ass, but you'd be surprised if you start digging into it.

I hear what you are saying, but I feel that way about 9/10 dudes I work with too. You don't work with male geniuses either I'm assuming?

Weird thing is, when you are pitching to potential investors who have their checkbooks out, you still have a small advantage as a white male.

But once you are funded, step 1 is to hire a semi-attractive woman to be the customer facing rep for the company. All customer service emails should be female names, marketing materials female based, website photos, et al should be female because that's what the media and customers want to see.

I'm sure thousands of years ago power structures were built based on gender norms at the time. People in power will always fight to maintain the status quo. Trying to justify sexism in 2019 based on Paleolithic anthropology just looks kinda douchy

Spend enough time around club thots and you start laughing at losers who put women on a pedestal. These girls only exist to help your promoter buddy up his tally and get paid.
All it takes is Mookie Betts, Steph Curry, and Joe Burrow all sitting in the same car in order for one drunk driver to make the world a significantly better place.

What does this whole debate have to do with your phony idea of sexism? I'm not trying to justify anything. I'm just asking why things are as they are and you're not answering my question.

Assuming your theory is true: Why was it men 'oppressing' women and holding them back rather than the other way round? Can you answer that?

In the modern era we are learning why they were excluded.

Someone has drunk the feminist cool aid.

Women in business is a cost, borne by the male workers who have to work extra hard to pay for maternity leave, flexi time (read part time workers), litigation and incompetence.

It;s why women are drawn to the public sector, low skilled doss jobs.

You're denying sexism exists, while stating that women suck at everything.

It's not "my theory"

Imagine roles were reversed. For thousands of years men as a group weren't allowed in schools, weren't allowed to learn trade crafts, weren't allowed in politics, then after a few decades of slowly being let in were told you haven't done **** worthwhile. Well no ****.

I'm imagining this scenario and it looks like we never progressed beyond basic agriculture.

If women could reproduce without men and only women existed, we'd still be living in caves.

why men have been the oppressors? Probably started with physical strength as well as being the gatekeepers of resources

lol @ hundreds of years of not allowing people to learn/practice something then calling them stupid for not being able to do it.
BS, most men didn't have the opportunity to be creative in the past too, just like women. 99% were trying to survive.

And in the most free socities today we see women choosing completely different paths than men. Hence more men in STEM than women, even when society tries to promote these fields to women.

"Bu..bu..patriarchy kept the women down" You fckin dumb, cuck. Trying to white knight an old misc whore, LMFAO!

But women have always been the gatekeepers of sex (yes rape happened, I know) - the most demanded resource in history.
