That's a complete strawman, nobody is saying that. People are pointing out the hypocrisy. The only problems in society that get widespread attention and support, are problems that impact women.
So no, if you want to be taken seriously then there would need to be parity in how these issues are treated.
- SilverBirch 4y agoIt's not a strawman, you literally are saying that people shouldn't work on women getting into STEM because they aren't also working on getting men into education. What I'm saying is those are two different tasks, and it's unreasonable for you to ask someone who is doing 1 good thing to stop doing it because you want them to do another thing that you think is good. >So no, if you want to be taken seriously then there would need to be parity in how these issues are treated. Firstly, they already are taken seriously. Secondly, go ahead and look, there are plenty of campaigns to try and get more men into early years education.

Are you replying to the wrong message, or intentionally not quoting what you say I "literally" said? Meanwhile, I have also noticed there aren't enough women working in mines and on roofs, collecting garbage etc. so I'm off to start my campaign to help.
