It's not. There's plenty of studies that show the most effective ways to help a society is by empowering the women [1][2][3].
Standing for "equality" for the sake of "equality" doesn't actually benefit anyone.

- Dewie 14y agoIf there ever came out studies that suggested that women can't be trusted with money, especially compared to men, then well... those studies wouldn't be existing for long.
- jmathai 14y agoOut of genuine curiosity, do you happen to be a white male?
- Dewie 14y agoI've heard that I could pass for a Turk, but yes - I am! I guess now you can label me as one of those typical entitled white males, which isn't ironic at all given that gender issues are often about fighting putting people in boxes like that.
- jmathai 14y agoI was just curious. Putting people in boxes isn't the most horrible thing in the world, ya know? It can help you come to positive solutions (not only negative ones). Like giving money to women over men because the evidence shows that the net benefit for the entire community is larger. That's just my opinion. I don't claim others are wrong, but I do claim that I'm right :).
