As a women, I don't understand the whole "Men and women can and should fulfill the same roles in society, a perfect society is one where we have a 50/50 ratio in everything."
My only prerequisite is that no one should assume what my role should me. Lady wants to be a housewife? Awesome. I want to be an engineer? Awesome. All we need is to reduce barriers to that opportunity which I agree to close to complete in America.
I've never heard anyone advocate for a 50/50 split.
- shrimp_emoji 10y agoThen you haven't been keeping up with the Marxis--uh, feminist rhetoric of the last ten years. >All we need is to reduce barriers to that opportunity which I agree to close to complete in America. That's the way: enforce equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. Now all's that's left to do is to figure out how. What's that? Women inherently need more encouragement and support than men to succeed in a given field? Okay, we'll skew the system to favor them slightly more than men so that it's a net balance of opportunity. What's that? That's not fair to men, and the assumption that underlay it was inherently sexist? This sure is hard. Either way, we must still be doing it wrong because at the gender gap in field 'x'!

- tbrownaw 10y agoI've never heard anyone advocate for a 50/50 split. What happens instead is that anything that isn't a 50/50 split is assumed to be proof that there are barriers, that someone is telling you what your role should be, etc.
