The gender gap in compassion is always surprising. There is never “educate boys to fix society”. The argument is as follows: “But girls get raped, so we need to save them” “Who rapes girls?” “Boys” “What opportunities do they have?” “Drugs, army, and the street” “Wouldn’t they too deserve to be given care, notably the care that was too given to girls?” “No, [various reasons]” “But don’t you care that girls get raped by boys?” “Yes” “So what do you do?” “Take care of the girls”.
- mothballed 5mo agoMales want to attract females and get married. They way they can do this is by achieving money/power. If education is profitable and possible, then executing it takes care of itself. If it's not possible, well it was a moot cause anyway unless some outsider will come in and help. Females are valuable just for their ... personal assets ... so bootstrapping is a little harder because they have intrinsic value they can fall back on (someone is going to get angry at me for saying that, but it's just the way it is). If I can just marry a rich man I might be okay with that, or whoever makes the decisions for me might be okay with that. You have to get someone to come in and force enough of them to feel like they're a failure for not getting an education and then eventually they'll socially reinforce it themselves without further outside influence. I believe this is why it's much higher yield for the enlightened outsider to come in and declare their moral and intellectual superiority and tell the females they are losers (or less happy, or less independent, whatever the politically correct terminology is used nowadays) for not getting an education, and get (read: bribe) their families to put them into it.
- lotsofpulp 5mo agoWild comment. > If I can just marry a rich man I might be okay with that, or whoever makes the decisions for me might be okay with that Fyi, “just marry” incorporates a lot of things would disqualify the use of the term “just”. The least of which is pregnancy and the risks thereof, especially in these poorer societies without healthcare.
- programjames 5mo agoYou say this as if you are providing new information. I suspect >99% of the Hacker News population, including the commenter above you, already knows this.
- sapphicsnail 5mo ago> Females are valuable just for their ... personal assets ... Women can pretty much do anything men can do. How is a wealthy, financially successful woman less valuable than a man?
- programjames 5mo agoWhere exactly was that stated or implied?
- sapphicsnail 5mo agoHow do you interpret, "Females are valuable just for their ... personal assets ..."
- programjames 5mo agoAs in, women are valued just for having a womb. Men are not valued just for having a penis, or for having bigger muscles, or for being taller, unless they will use those assets on their person to go do something for someone else. I do not interpret it, as you seem to, to mean, "the only valuable thing about women are their bodies." I do not see how you could come to such an interpretation, unless you are pattern matching the redpill memes you see in the other user's comment and extending that to, "(s)he must believe this, if there is anything remotely related to redpill in the comment".
- deadeye 5mo agoI'll play this out... Every human is equally valuable in the moral sense. But value is subjective when we are talking about relationships and we can only generalize about this value. High income women are more valuable to low income men. High income men already have money. They value other attributes. And this is the paradox successful women can face. Their success doesn’t attract the mates they desire, quite the opposite. And worse, they were never told that. They were told the opposite.

- dwaltrip 5mo agoRight, no man has ever attracted a woman by displaying pro-social attributes. > Females are valuable just for their ... personal assets. 2018 called and they want their red pill back. —— When’s your book coming out? I’m dying to learn more about “the way it is”. —— P.S. I say this with full sincerity: If you are open to advice, try reading “Models: Attract Women Through Honest”. It will expand your mind. It was recommended to me by a friend who managed to un-redpill himself.
- lazyasciiart 5mo agoWhat? You think it is unfair that when boys go to school and girls don't, people target girls for help attending school? Twisted.
