“The women are basically ignorant”
I’d say women are more interested in personal things while men are more interested in how things work (machines, companies, governments, ...) and how to make them work better.
Its not that women are gullible, just they (and this is a generalization, so please ladies save the attacks calling me sexist) view and process the world differently.
While I have found women are very good at seeing intersections and interconnections of events in the worlds around the, on average far better then men are. Their prioritization of the importance of those intersections and interconnections are far different.
Safety and security, nesting, etc are very very important... So, when you present a general idea to them, they will prioritize the connections they perceive interconnect with it to those junctions... And prioritize those connections, over connections that they perceive to be less important or impacted by that concept.
So, if you say, free meals for kids in schools... Womens priorities of those connections are generally nurturing, safety, protection, particularly of the young... so, making sure kids get a healthy meal, is important.... So those connections get priority, so the question of what is the cost, is it needed, why are these kids not being fed at home... etc... don’t supersede, or equate to the same level as the rating of making sure kids are fed.
Its a prioritizational bias, not so much a gullibility.
One of my first jobs out of college, was to work on software that utilized the AHP (Analyitcal Hierarchy Process) which was utilized to capture and rank priorities in decision making... at the time the software was largely used by things like government when planning large expensive projects. Basically you enter all the criteria that matter, and then rank each of them relative to every other one of them. Then once you have all the criteria and their relationships weighted against one another, you can then feed the raw data into the system and use the process to determine and justifiy the decision that eventually are made for the project.
Changing the weights between criteria could and did create very very different outcomes, from the same data inputs. It is very interesting to see how the relationship weight of the relationship between just a few nodes can vastly change the output from the same input set.
The issue is that, classical educational systems, particularly in the liberal arts, until very recently have been largely centered around helping men recognize their innate biases and making the more aware of them and to expand their thinking. However, these same biases that men tend to have, and need to work against, to be a more rounded thinker and person, are the exact biases that women tend to have innately... so educational systems that are meant to make you recognize your biases and teach you to work through them, actually REINFORCE innate female biases...
So, where a largely analytical and linearly thinking man, is taught to see more of the picture... an less linearly thinking and less analytical female mind (and by analytical I mean critical linear thinking, not that women do not analyze or think) has its existing biases reinforced instead of being trained to break through those biases and learn to think more linearly.
Anyway, let the flaming begin, but that’s what I see...
Articulatting a rationale for your own mind-reading projected flavor of bigotry is in no way superior to the bigotry you profess to perceive.
YOU are a poster child for why a men’s rights movement is gaining traction.
Not recently. College freshmen are about 63% female. Of course, not all freshmen make it to graduation.
“More cognizant?” Don’t you think the value of that cognizance should be qualified before counting it in the “win column?” Indeed, one criticism of women by men is concern for that which is ultimately ephemeral (cf. price of clothing).
Absolutely
“Women don’t “see more” they feel more. Women vote, far too often, on their feelings. Rationality does not enter into it.”
Agreed!
OTOH, when it comes to getting laid, women are usually the rational creatures and men are the illogical sex. We just want it no matter what because our brains have turned to oatmeal during that arousal time. They can be rational and point out that we just got it (maybe even a week or more ago), we need to shower first, they have a headache and on and on . . .
That was the reason for the Amendment to give them the vote:
They are the largest voting bloc, that votes on feeling, and votes left of men. Their rights did not matter to the communists (progressives), their votes did.
“I would say women have their eyes open a lot more than guys do.”
Interesting idea, assuming that you are right how do you explain that women are so much more likely to vote Democrat?
Let’s not forget Trump got 53% of the married female vote. The solution is simple: We are going to have to marry these women and work on them. Let me be the last.
“We are going to have to marry these women and work on them. Let me be the last.”
You can be first and last, I’m already married and I don’t like work.
But why would even their hearts incline them to vote Democrat? Shoot, my hemorrhoids are too smart to vote commie.
I’ve been married 31 years. Do not ask me to explain why women think the way they do.
