Feminism and the Disposable Male

[TaraJo]

This is largely because of the choices that are made by women (such as: maternity leave, going into nursing instead of engineering). The much touted 'wage gap', is actually quite small on average. Sure, there are outlying cases where you work for a bigot... but it simply isn't true most of the time.

...

The reason there are more men as congressmen and executives... is again: largely on the choices made by women. I would instead suggest that they are *quite at the advantage* in political and social matters, again... simply because they are women

It's difficult to get past the hard numbers on this. Almost all the studies done on the sociological factors that lead men to do x and women to do y is done by feminists, so there's going to be some amount of in-group bias and confirmation bias. It's been really difficult to find non-biased sources that will tackle the issues.

And, yes, ultimately we all take personal responsibility for the choices we make, but I'm talking about the influences society has on us that leads us to make certain choices. If you took someone like Einstein and raised him in a society where there isn't good education or where education is looked down on (*cough*TEXAS*cough*) then he probably wouldn't have become the physicist he was known as.

There are more than two sides... I mean, I for instance would like to keep some of that arbitrary gender-role nonsense Mostly because I am a selfish bitch who loves being treated as a woman

True, I don't mind the gender role stuff as long as it isn't mandatory or projected onto others against their will.
