If a social class wants to assume the role of power in society, great! Power isn’t all fun had by all though. It’s be pretty foolish to fill a role and not accept its responsibilities.... this would be all dandy if social advocacy aimed to eradicate these unfair responsibilities, but that end seems to be crickets.

This is literally only aimed at people who want ‘equality’ yet want to consist double standards

the whole point of equality is that it's not about assuming the role of power though. It's about being equal. As the name suggests.

According to someone else in this thread who gets mad at semantics every time I post it is. It’s not like there’s a mass social advocacy for more women dustbin workers, or miners. The discussion is usually, profession wise anywho, about ceos, phd students, mathematical and scientific graduate fields..

Obviously, why wouldn't women be campaigning for the more interesting high paying jobs? this whole I don't see you wanting equality in the **** jobs is utterly senseless, no one forces men to be miners or dustmen?

Well that’s my point then. It’s about wanting the ‘good parts’ of equality, without assuming the bad parts the other gender has to deal with, and completely ignoring it really. Das literally it

They dont "have" to deal with anything, nobody forces people to go for jobs they don't want, what are you on about? I mean are you actually saying women shouldn't be allowed go for good jobs they're interested in because there's not enough women who want to be dustmen?

Thanks for misrepresenting everything I’ve said and getting mad for no reason

I’m pretty sure I’ve already spelled out how I’ve felt in the like 20 posts I’ve posted on this thread, that would prove what ur saying now to be false

I just think he's saying that if equality truly is the end goal, then people should be campaigning to increase participation of women in all parts of the labour market where they are underrepresented e.g. dustbinwomen. Instead, most of the campaigning seems to be focussed on getting women into the boardrooms.

Social class? I thought we were talking about men and women or Are you saying men and women are in different social classes? And the silly little girls couldn't handle the responsibility of being in power? I hope I've misunderstood your post

Both men & women should be treated equally but sadly they're not .

People will laugh when a woman hits a guy across the face even when he's done nothing wrong . I doubt many guys will hit a woman back after that unless she's relentless and keeps hitting him .

And if he does hit her back after she provoked him then who's fault is that . Some people out there like to push buttons for a reaction.

Domestic violence is WRONG !! , but if it's self defence then what's wrong with that within reason of course .
