Wasn’t it western civilization that gave women the right to vote, hold office and rise in the ranks of business? Ironic that women want to destroy the very system that gave them those rights. Why?
The masculine vs. feminine styles described might more appropriately be called conservative vs. liberal.
It also ignores the fact that there is just as much competitiveness and pecking order stuff going on in the feminine-style groups as in the masculine-style ones, the only difference being that the ladies cover it up more effectively.
right, but when you go to school to major in some sort of crap, you are not going to succeed.
And the ad I saw the other day where the ignorant struggling white b**** was corrected in her stupidity by the brilliant minority.
One more creeping little input, another little cut to the death by a thousand.
Ask a collage instructor professor why women outperform, and the first answer you will get is “they take classwork more seriously”.
Frankly, I have not been impressed by some of these women (or men for that matter) that have obtained degrees.
I swear is sounds like many of them graduated from Moscow U. back in the 70s.
This is EXACTLY why the left hates Palin.
The same feminizing behaviors affect the business world.
Endless meetings, day after day, week after week, where no one has the guts to speak up and say “You’re wrong!” because it might hurt someone’s feelings. So the project meanders to its disasterous end.
Endless negotiation, reiteration, and inclusion that results in a lot of wasted time and rampant passive-aggressive behavior.
Can we repeal Title IX now? Or do we have to wait until every graduating class is 100% female.
Seachange? Where has this writer been? Males in school have been virtually ignored for years. From an early age, female students are empowered by predominately female (and feminist) teachers, many of whom possess a disdain for men. Psychological empowerment goes a long way towards success. Neglect leads to failure. Add to that fact males who work with females are forced to assume female personality traits or be threatened with termination and the scenario gets worse. The few males who manage to get through school and land a job are soon feminized themselves by today’s estrogen-rich workplace. Oh yes, and we won’t talk about the huge disparity when it comes to the ratio of males to females losing their jobs right now “due to the bad economy”. No matter how you cut it, being born male, and white, is a curse not a blessing. And when it comes to the workplace, it’s clear we have no rights under the Civil Rights Act, and the employers who are quick to draw our names at layoff time know it. Additionally, if a male wants a “manly job” in this country they can’t do that anymore either. These jobs are all held by illegals, so where does that leave us? Screwed, undermined, disempowered, disenfranchised, and discarded. Feminism won. The family unit died. The workplace sucks. Nothing gets done. Everything’s a mess, bankruptcy abounds. Freedom is dead. But Feminism won.
Stuff like this worries me. I have a girl and two active boys, who love math, taking things apart and (sometimes successfully) putting them back together. And running around, shouting, arguing, jumping, throwing things, making lots of noise, doing stuff with Dad and Grandpa, etc. (A lot like their father ;-)
Normal boys. We have the ER bills to prove it, plus several packs of frozen vegetabls that exist for first aid, never to be eaten.
Such boys, BTW, are not portrayed as heroes in books or TV. The boys are clowns, sidekicks or adversaries to the smart girl main characters.
I’m worried that when they are out of school, there will be no jobs left for normal boys.
Public Education.
For women
By women
To women
If boys don’t act like girls they are fed pills till they do. The reason boys do poorly is they hate the current educational methods. Boys do not want to write about how the feel about 2 times 3, they just want to get the answer right.
There is actually a good book about this by Douglas Wolf - The Empire Cycle and Why America is Going to the Girls.
He said this a natural cycle and now that we are benefiting from the risk taking men who made this country that the women who want security and social programs take over. Of course this can only happen because of what the real men did to forge a good country in the first place.
