@wmwcjr,
Quote:Let's see what we get when we replace the words "men" and "women" with "whites" and "blacks," respectively.
This is a completely
bullshit argument. The two comparisons are not anywhere near the same. The color of one's skin is not the same kind of physiological difference as having radically different chromosome structures. Women have XX chromosomes, men have XY. It's because of this variation in men that there are more notable occurrences on both the bad and the good extremes of the spectrum, whereas women (in general) fall in the middle of the spectrum. This is not something I made up;
this is science. There is more genetic diversity in males. Therefore males have a greater tendency to develop talents that are exceptional within the realm of humanity.
This chromosome difference also factors into why women are more social (pack mentality), whereas men tend to be more isolated (in general). Men have more of a natural instinct to follow their own individual paths. This is known as exploration, and this leads to discovery and creation. Women however, tend to follow groupthink and herd mentality. They (in general) shun ideas that are not readily established and accepted by the populace.
Look at, for instance recreational activities such as video gaming and comic books (nerd culture in general.) The males who pioneered these avenues of entertainment were shunned and ostracized during the early days of these artforms. But now these things have become popular culture; billion dollar industries. And so
only now do these same females who laughed this sort of thing off before decide to co-opt it for themselves.
And that's what female homo sapiens do. They take the ingenuity of males, and after it's become an established, polished thing and all the
hard work has been done, they move in and start redecorating and trying to dictate how things should be done.
Anyone who claims a person is bigoted for pointing out the
proven fact that men have contributed more to society than women have is a disingenuous hypocrite. But that's no surprise. When Michelle Obama outright says "Women are smarter than men!"
No one cries bigotry. And that's because sexism is
only sexism when men do it. Women are given a free pass to be as sexist as they want!
And I didn't even make the claim that one sex is smarter than the other. I stated the
provable fact that men have made more contributions to human society than women have.
If the human race was divided up into genders and forced to create separate societies to live in for each; and if in each society the gender was
only allowed to utilize the creations of that specific gender; which society would be more habitable and successful? Would either of those societies fail without the other gender present? If so, which one?
If you could only listen to the music, read the books, watch the films, eat the food, etc that was created by one gender; which of those would you choose? Ernest Hemingway and Beethoven, or Jessica Valenti and Taylor Swift?
You know what I think bigotry is? I think bigotry is when society infantilizes women. Because women have the capacity for greatness (and there have been
many examples of this being the case.) But when society and specifically
men treat women like they're children, it enables women to live in
a perpetual state of non responsibility. We as men and as a society need to hold women up to the
exact same standards as we do men. And that includes things like assuming that both men
and women have the
same capacity to understand their own actions while they're drinking alcohol. That includes holding men and women up to the
exact same standards under the law. All laws, including rape laws.
It's time that we as a society start to hold women accountable to the
exact same standard as we hold men. The more we treat women like adults, the more women will be forced to excel in adulthood.
