we are on no such path.

The pink represents women % in college and grad school. This chart is 13 years old. The trend has continued. Go ahead and google "men vs women in higher education".

the number of women in higher education is not an indicator of how intelligent they are.

as has been shown many times, the entire system has been designed around the accreditation and even support of 'minorities' and women. It is not a statistical anomaly that this expansion of women students coincided with a complete collapse in academic standards, ethics standards at college, costs of education, and perceived value of education.

Women turned both the workplace and the University into a romper room for adults who simply collect money by merit of their government sanctioned position.

what is likely to happen to the world of feminism is it will die along with our current financial system. It's simply antithetical to efficiency, profit, even psychological health.

MershedPerturders says

the number of women in higher education is not an indicator of how intelligent they are.

How about the fact that they now are higher on IQ tests?

rooemoore says

What about female MD's and lawyers?

two professional sectors that have also degraded beyond recognition since the advent of 'equal opportunity'.

Women simply don't have a sense of general responsibility. This has generated an environment of complete indifference and thus degraded the standards to a point where the field isn't even recognizable anymore. People argue endlessly about how to manage the economics of healthcare, when none of the discuss the real problem. The real problem is complete lack of professional standards. If doctors would resist practices and methods that cause harm to patients, we would have far less problems with our medical system. Women simply don't have this sense of responsibility, it's not built into their basic psychological framework. They naturally think of themselves- it purely biological.

Any time you see a woman in charge of anything, then things have gone wrong. This fully explains our current state of affairs in America and the west.

did they redesign the IQ tests too?

one must be naturally skeptical after several decades of this subterfuge.

I'll go back to one of my initial statements: if women are so f-ing brilliant, why dont' they form their own awesome businesses and take on the men? YOU NEVER SEE THEM DO THIS. Actually you never see them do ANYTHING on their own. The more 'liberated' a woman is, the LESS she wants to be around other women, because 'liberation' isnt' about independence it's about exploiting MEN.

Do I have the right to discount practically everything the feminist movement produces as evidence?

rooemoore says

(I especially love his use of capital letters. You can practically see the veins bulging in his geezer neck.)

just to show you how totally off you are, I am not a senior citizen. Men are DROPPING out of the system. It's got women very concerned which is why you find them frantically defending these points. They are not going to get marriage, or really any level of compliance from men at all. Once Men's Rights activists get more organized, even the state run programs are going to be dismantled. At this point I can't imagine how we can afford to keep them running. The barrier really is in identifying the problem. We see the problem as 'inefficiencies' but really the reason for much of the corruption is because we have people in these organizations who are not being held responsible for their positions. They are unanimously women.

MershedPerturders says

you must be kidding me.

I am kidding you. I could never take you seriously.

The female graduate school statistics have been achieved through extremely heavy subsidizing. The majority of fellowships available in graduate school are targeted for "women and minorities".

In many graduate schools, women are offered 30k in cash, free tuition, and health insurance to attend a graduate school program. Meanwhile, their male counterparts can often be offered nothing.

I was involved in writing several fellowship grants for my university. We had one program director who's contribution to every single grant we wrote to insert the words "women and minorities" within every page because it probably tripled the odds of our grant getting approved by the NIH or NSF.

What I often found was that the best females who were obtaining Phd's in science or engineering fields were left to fend for themselves while the administration shuffled in a bunch of incompetent females into the fellowship positions to bolster their diversity numbers further. It was a crime to the girls that truly deserved those awards over anyone else.

same thing happened in Medical. They effectively flooded the field with useless bimbos.

Holy "Cow" I was going to share some opinions here as I agree with both sides on this topic but that fricken American Taliban showed up on this thread.

BACAH, are you white?

looks like youre employing the typical defense of the liberal political platform that most 'minorities' employ by exaggerating the opposition and playing up women's shortcomings and insecurities. The typical PIMP social pattern.

marcus says

There has been a lag in realizing that woman can do Math, programming, and engineering too, although women are so far less likely to choose to stay on that path. Part of the reason is that there are a lot of women that go through engineering programs, only to be directed towards management or tangential jobs that involve more collaboration and communication.

As an engineer I'm always annoyed when I see the media looking hard for that one girl that is good at it and can be pushed forward as a role model. (and correspondingly avoiding boys with similar or greater achievements).

Not that women can't do it, but there are more women pushing for equality and looking for that role model than there are women actually willing to log thousands of hours with their noses stuck into the guts of a computer.
It's cold and not very emotionally satisfying.

And if women claim equality but are unwilling to be the nerds, what is their credibility?

marcus says

Between 1989 and 2008, the approximate percentages of women receiving their Bachelor’s degree in any engineering field were 17% and 19.6%, respectively. The percentage increase in the computer science industry displayed was larger, increasing from approximately 10% in 1989 to 21% in 2008.

If half the energy spent by women pushing for equality in engineering was spent actually studying engineering, there would have been 50+% women engineers for decades.

for a while we were seeing women trying to get 'managerial' roles in technical projects, but typically the engineers can't stand them because they know precisely nothing about the products, and they are easily manipulated and the group dynamics break down quickly.

One experience I had was with a laughable woman 'CEO' that got her money through some 'women entrepreneur' grant. Did she hire women? only one or two in key visible positions. The engineers despised her and just basically played along to get paid. She had basically spent much of her working life in these positions as a 20 something paid to sit around and look good, but she believed(she was probably told this) that she was there because she was good at her job. This expanded her ego, but the moment she was put into a real risk-taking position, she was hilariously inept. She responded to a string of failures by morphing into the most hideously manipulative bitch I've ever had to be around, this in turn scared off the useful people resulting in being surrounded by worthless sycophants and bullshit artists. Guess what happened next?

yes these are the results of 'gender equality'. Fact was this person should have been home spending time with her kids and not trying to play CEO. I believe the whole episode ended with her divorce from her husband. Of course this woman will not be held responsible for the debt she incurred because the 'women entrepreneur' grant does not require that she actually succeed at business, only that she act and look the part of a 'women entrepreneur'.

That's BS as well. I know a lot of women engineers and they are as competent as men and as considered in the team.

I see a lot of women engineers immigrating from China in particular because they have more gender equality there - though less feminist rhetoric.

I think it's somewhat true about less women either entering engineering or staying with it after completing an engineering program. But I don't know what the conclusion is from that. Maybe part of it was doors not being as open to them and or perception of women as being less capable.

I'm a Math teacher who every year sees close to as many and often more girls and young women being successful in math than boys and young men. And yet deep down, I think I'm still prejudiced against women.

Especially if she is attractive and you know, a girly girl. Then I'm likely (on some level) to be surprised if she has a super high Math aptitude and super high performance in my class.

Ask yourself. Put yourself back in college or your twenties, and you meet an extremely attractive and very feminine woman. Is it easy for you to see a possibility that she's more intelligent than you ? That is not just with knowledge, but with reasoning ?

I can see that prejudice that exists, and even a very weird psychology, or need to feel intellectually superior (or certainly equal at a minimum) making the boys club of the engineering world, very difficult for a talented young woman to navigate.

Heraclitusstudent says

all the women in my engineering course were the most manipulative lying cunts I can imagine. They knew precisely nothing about the subject matter and scored all As. Sometimes we were put into groups to solve problems. They would do nothing but sit there.

MershedPerturders says

That's probably because they knew you had a psychological need to dominate the discussion.

a huge blindspot of the American male is that they believe that 'hotness' is some kind of trait youre born with. They overlook the amount of time and energy women expend to look 'hot'. They dont just roll out of bed like this, and knowing this and expressing this knowledge is very much taboo in our society. Again, just go to a drug store and see how much real estate goes to selling cosmetics.

given that women spend HUGE amounts of time just attaining a look that garners an acceptable 'love life', yes it is surprising that women should have the requisite skills to do something like Medical or Engineering. It takes dedication and you can't also be a silly flirty whorebag and also provide this function to society. Some women do take the field seriously, then find they are completely unattractive to men. They look at the other girls who are not so sincere and see them with boyfriends and get jealous. Thus- career life and happy home life/sex life are simply incompatible for women. THE PROBLEM is that we are (attempting to) make it work with state funds. It can't work. It never has worked. It never will work.

The reason why it persists is that 50% of the population is willing to continue the experiment indefinitely. The problem for them is that this experiment REQUIRES compliance from men in all sectors of life, work, dating, politics, and what have you. They are starting to defect from the program and it's driving women absolutely crazy.

Im heterosexual and I refuse to be married under these terms. I've seen far too many causalities.

marcus says

The media endlessly repeats that women are not doing it because they are discriminated against or the "doors are not being as open". They make you feel guilty about how you feel.

That's BS. Someone who spends the hours opens the door. Math is the same for everyone. It doesn't discriminate. And contrary to other subject matters, there are objective measures of whether someone can do it or not. How you feel has nothing to do with it.

Just be objective.

marcus, you're clueless. I know many people like you who were raised on the concepts of gender equality, and they are completely blind to the contradictions in it, not to mention their investments and connections make it personally impossible for them to operate on anything else.

I've worked in the fashion industry and the cosmetics industry. You really have no idea the amount of money women spend to look a certain way.

You tell me how is it that one PERSON who spends 2 hours a day getting ready can have the same level of dedication as someone who spends 30 minutes? Now let's add it the likelihood of having children, and the general energy and effort women put into impressing and socializing with potential mates. Somehow after weve subtracted this focus and attention we are left with completely equal HUMANs? not in the least what we are left with is one human who is trying to do their job, and another human who is bullshitting her way through it, relying on perpetual subsidies and equalization programs, and sex appeal while she's got it.

MershedPerturders says

No, I'm in my fifties. I was not raised with that idea. Or at least in some ways I did not believe it. At my old age, I now see women as very frequently more competent than men. Certainly not less competent than men (as a generalization).

Heraclitusstudent says

Just be objective

MY point was that the objective reality that I often see with female students does not fit with my feelings or expectations. I have slowly learned for example that there does not seem to be an intrinsic higher Math aptitude in men than in women.

Do you mean they score lower contrary to your expectations? Or higher?
If they score higher, then they do, why do you feel guilty?

this is basically what Sex in the City is, it's a drama that attempts to create acceptable and believable responses to the various (largely negative) experiences that women have in this new feminist professional world.

for instance, one character(who doesnt look anything like the average mid-40s something) after a stint of lesbianism suddenly is propositioned by a handsome millionaire - at the age of 45-or-so.

The goal here is to convince women to keep riding that train, they'll be a happy ending. After years of loveless 'dating' and failed marriages, experiments in bisexuality, then some rich handsome guy begs you for access to your oh-so-hot body. There is a happy ending ladies, just hang on!

What millionaire would date a 45 year old? none that I've ever met. The goals of making a million dollars is so you can date a 20 something virgin who hopefully has never watched Sex In the City.

marcus says

No, I'm in my fifties.

it's typically people your age that have positive ideas about Feminism. The later generations are more tuned to my channel- except minority groups who look to feminists for political support- but have complete cynicism towards the values themselves. Many feminists will for instance date a black guy for a week or so, document the whole thing, post it to their facebook wall, just so they can score those political points.

Men my age either are Players- men who exploit the situation to impress their friends with how many chicks they can screw, Drop Outs- men who don't care and try to minimize their 'love life' as much as possible, and other groups (perverts are gaining ground considerably). Generally though these strategies are starting to be abandoned in favor of just a full on attack on liberal values.

its also why weve had virtually no technological, scientific, or even economic progress since the 60s.

END FEMINISM. BRING BACK PRODUCTIVITY.

Heraclitusstudent says

No it's not feeling guilty. Unless it's guilty about my prejudice. It's just sort of a realization. Wow, that girl is so smart. Way up there. And knowing them a little, just as people, interacting with them, and seeing the way they present themselves, and their personalities etc, I know if I met them at their age, it never would have occurred to me that they might have had IQs well above mine.

I would probably think their grades and performance was mostly because of their study habits, work ethic etc. But the truth is I'm talking about performing at a level that doesn't occur just from good study habits.

This is just me trying to share something that's not that easy to convey. Besides what I'm commenting on has to do with my insecurities in my younger days, and the prejudices that I can now see in myself. Even regarding my own sister for example.

it sounds to me like it's just sublimated sexual desire. Just going by your choice of words here.

basically what happened was after WWII, the west locked into a set of social values that haven't been altered or relocated, but they have expanded and overtaken many regions where more traditional ideas thrived. Of course practically any discussion on the real core values ends with the Godwinian 'Hitler' response or Taliban as the person above uses. What we can't accept is that these values, that we believe are the antidote to tyranny are really the ruling factors in modern tyranny. Obama is a tyrant in case you haven't noticed.

MershedPerturders says

That may be going on in some dark little corner of my mind, because I'm talking about some very special young women. But no, I was trying to share something very specific, which I don't think I can clearly communicate any better than my attempt here.

MershedPerturders does come off as misogynistic

it's only misogyny if you define misogyny and any kind of criticism of Feminism.

Oh, I have no problem with criticism of any ideology. It's the wanting to take the vote away from women that seemed a bit extreme to me.

Wow, this thread has gone way off the tracks of the original post.

thing is, as with any cult, they carefully measure their demographics and psychology of their adherents(who translate directly to political support).

The goal is to create adherents who cannot leave the system.

how do they do it?

1) abortion: this particular one is supremely nasty and vile. They promote abortions to women, knowing that when they get abortions, they rarely defect from the system because the system offers them moral neutrality and non-judgmental treatment(where outside the cult they are thought to be baby killers). There is an extensive effort in colleges to promote abortion as something 1) hip and cool 2) morally neutral 3) anonymous 4) inexpensive/free. The goal isn't really 'choice' its about getting women to have abortions by any means possible.

2) career: they know that once a girl has signed onto a career and gone into debt, given up her best years at school and internships, she is not likely to look back to the world of 'traditional' values for support. It's virtually impossible for her to do so, she can only march forward with Sex in the City as her guide into the promising world of careers and some kind of relation to sex(less and less likely to be the opposite sex). The truth is that for women career usually implies emotional instablity and likely completely insanity.

All these things required and extremely compliant and patient male population. Actually this was the posture for most boomers, some kind of vague recognition that the women around them were all crazy, but somehow it had some kind of cosmic significance so they accepted it and usually told their sons that it was somehow tolerable. Later when the divorce rate skyrocketed and the level of discontent along with it, this attitude change, but most negativity was censured out in the news by Dr. Phil and likes. Reality is that home life of america is a war zone and has been completely demolished. This is why we increasingly turn to entertainment for fulfillment. There is nothing wholesome or fulfilling about our modern 'love' lives or broken 'family' lives.

and this brings us to HOUSING.

why have Americans become so obsessed with Houses?

when you take away the core basis for family, people look for outside material icons for things they lost but cannot accept are gone. Houses were one of these things. Women could feel that they lost something, but after their 18+ years of programming and TV reinforcement couldn't reason what it was. It had something to do with happiness, and HOME. Ever notice that realtors never use the term 'house' but rather 'home'? That's the psychological trick, they are really selling you a worthless wooden box, but are telling you that it's a home. Just set up a few props here and there, bring a dog around, a few vases to make it seem like someone is living there, and SOLD- that woman will sign anything just for a taste of that sense of happiness that it just a fading glimmer on the horizon.
