Interesting because I keep hearing guys gripe that there are a lot more of them on this site than females.
Shows what they know.

I say this because I am female and have always really disliked other females to the point that I even considered that I might be transgendered at one point - but now knowing that I have AS I realize that what I dislike about females is that they are generally overly emotional - I don't know what to do with emotions, therefore, I don't like to be around females . . . males, on the other hand, think like I do - here is the problem - here is how we fix it - we may talk a little bit about how it makes us feel, but it is only while we are working on fixing it . . .
Not this frittering around and being all emotional and not getting anything done that a lot of females do . . .
Of course, these are all stereotypes - I can tell you examples of people that don't follow these rules - both male and female - but in my attempt to make sence of the world, these are the rules I have come up with . . .
As it is, right now, the people I like to be around are split - 2 females and 2 males - however, I prefer the males in almost all cases . . .
For myself, I really don't consider myself to be a gender anymore - so you should have an other category, darn it!  |
Am I the only female here who found this to be incredibly offensive? 
Women are, first of all, very much socialised into being sociable and friendly towards others. It's very much expected of women to be like that. That does not mean that somehow women "fritter about", "not getting anything done". That's just ridiculous stereotyping.
I'm not even sure about what else to say to this given that it's simply a string of unverified assertions.
I will say though that these stereotypes that women run on their emotions and are irrational have been slowly breaking down at the hand of self-respecting women for decades and I'm personally offended, as a woman, that you could actually be supporting such bullshit.
The vast majority of mental differences between genders that were once thought to be biological are being found to be the result of socialisation, opportunity or expectation, or even just outright myth. For example, search for 'Girls are equal to boys in maths skill' on nypost. com (the original, full article was posted on sciencenow. org but it appears you have to be a member to view that).
Regardless on what slight differences may remain biologically between men and women, these have little (if not no) weighting on the make up of an individual as a human being. The same goes for things like sexuality, race, you name it. The differences are slim, if present to any meaningful extent and are definitely no excuse for making exaggerated judgements about general groups of people. |

Girls are equal to boys in math skill? I guess you don't know how tests like the SAT work do you? The SAT is now a female friendly test because feminist groups were complaining about the lower scores girls got in the math, so they changed the way it was written so more girls could score higher. Not being sexist here, just telling it how it is.

Sir_Beefy;
Results of things like the SAT (which is apparently an American thing, I am not an American so I'm not familiar with it, specifically) are different for groups of people on the basis of gender and race, nobody is going to dispute the different outcomes experienced by individuals on the basis of their social group, that does not mean that this is biologically the case that white males are the most intelligent group of people in society.
Like I said, discrimination against people on the basis of their social group is a primary cause of material differences between these groups, rather than biology.
What that study (and others before it, no doubt, in different areas or under different circumstances) demonstrates, and the point I am making is that individuals are not naturally good or bad at certain things because of the social group they belong to.
Obviously men and women develop in completely different social environments from eachother and so obviously are going to develop different skills to different degrees in different areas. The same goes for all members of different social groups in an unequal society. Unless you're suggesting it's just a coincidence that the socially dominant group in Western society happens to get the highest scores in tests like the SAT?
Are you suggesting that feminist groups (feminism is the belief in and advocation of gender equality - are you trying to distance yourself from that in what you're saying?) complaining about the lower scores girls get in maths were somehow unjustified in their complaints that women were being disadvantaged?
I should very much hope that the SAT is a "female friendly" test. Why wouldn't you? |
