You just have an utopian bias. Your in an adversial relationship with reality fundamentally. That's the crux of the issue. The pushback is against bad leftist ideas of what men and women are because they are not true. Fundamentally you don't accept what women and survival actually are. Women survival is falling in love with your rapist and raising their kids, stockholm syndrome style. That's how a lot of women survived historically. Leftists see that and want to deny its even there.

It's pretty obvious that academia can't be contemplative if you think about it. It was obvious to me already before experiencing university. It's too inundated with incentives and rules which makes it more scholastic than anything. The fact that you can't make statements without basing it on a source is such a double edged sword. You have to partially outsource your sensemaking to be accepted in academia.

I think he just ratted out. Jesus was toast. He made a call to save his himself from the political intrigue conspiring against Jesus and his cult. Its a rat eat rat world 🐀 -
It's fine to make generalizations when they are largely true. It's a bigger leap to make woke post-modern claims about women, which are clearly ideological. If it's not obvious what a woman is you are probably overthinking it. Go outside more. Read how people actually live outside of modern standards of living. It's not some grand mystery. Your overstating the degree of harmful stereotyping in my opinion.

Let me rephrase that. I think the whole is enterprise of post-modern woke equalitism is essentially about tone policing reality. Certain aspects of reality are ugly, brutal and gruesome, so they spin tales about how reality is more fair and just than you might think. Sometimes they are right, but not always. At the end of day, reality is what it is irrespective of what you think about it. Its like being upset when crocodiles kill bison crossing the river because it's so brutal. It gets childish after a certain point.

Historically you might not always be so sure who your kids are exactly lol
-
Sure, but then I would caution about bias. At the end of the day, what is being said is obvious stuff. Obviously men did the majority of hunting throughout history. Sometimes reality is simple and your overthinking it for largely ideological reasons.
-
It was about how science can be biased and post-modern equality ideology.
-
Isn't that just the crux of the issue? Reality is too ugly for my sensitive puss ears lmao

Even laying bricks for an hourly wage is abnormal. Historically normal is raping and pillaging and making slaves do the labor. People have completely lost sense of how serious survival is. The two biggest concerns historically was starving and a horde of horny rapists with axes bumrushing your town. They would rip out your unborn fetus and wear it like a necklace (no joke). It's understandable that women are scared of feeling subject to men considering how powerless they can feel. It's a catch 22. Modern life shelters you from that dynamic (thanks to men), so they don't have to feel that way as much. I think that's fine. Women have more freedom to be butch bitches nowadays. It just gets stupid when people get ideological about gender and make up lore. Equalitism gets certain things wrong, so they necessarily will create bad results when those thing they are wrong about are applied.

Depends on how seriously you take it. People get wound up.

Biological essentialism can feel demeaning/deterministic to women because of a long history of women being second-class to men. Post-modern equalitism, or social constructivism, tries to create more equality between the sexes by flattening the differences ideologically, but fails to achieve this maximally because the sexes are foundationally unequal in certain ways. Hence you tend lose debates arguing for equalitism, que getting emotional because it's a touchy subject. I don't think women's opinion are valued less. If anything, it's given slightly more attention because it's such a liberal space. Nobody would care if OP was a dude. It's just that your wrong when your wrong.
-
There's been scandals and resignations/firings, but no real arrests. A lot of ambassadors.
-
OP has always been a debate bro and rather ideological. By their own words addicted to arguing last time they made a farewell post. I'm not trying to be mean, but running yourself into the ground arguing on a spiritual forum is a skill issue. It couldn't really end any other way but crashing out without self-awareness of how your being ideological. Its taken so seriously too.
-
People can tell you directly to your face and you'll still block it out. Speaking from experience.
-
The issue isn't that inequality doesn't work. Notice that. The issue is that inequality is just too ugly for your liking. You're not outsmarting evolution with ideology though.
-
*foundationally unequal, sorry. The issue is that if your too ideological and utopic about equality, your ideas will necesarilly lead to bad results because they fundamentally untrue.
-
You're evolved to survive average. The fact that this goes over your head is part of the problem. You fundamentally don't understand nature and survival. you treat it like it's just a matter of perspective. It's not a matter of perspective when your menopausal and regret not starting a family sooner. That's bad ideology playing out in real time. Probably all of them if they live long enough. Eggs are finite. Human egg supply is meant to last about the average life span historically. https://www.science.org/content/article/menopause-may-be-widespread-among-mammals-challenging-famed-hypothesis

Your going to have weird ideas about gender if you fundamentally don't understand what humans built to survive originally. Modern life has so thoroughly spoiled people that they lost touch with reality. This gender war is really just a debate over post-modern equalitism, which is valid because post-modernists fundamentally don't understand human nature. They are too ideological about equality to understand how humans are foundationally unequal, thus their beliefs in practice will play out badly.

Average lifespan is 40 before modern medicine. Animals in shelter live longer than in nature.
-
Bad post-modernism in action. The hubris is like a biblical tale. Such a spoiled attitude. You'd think having a near-rape experience would make you reconsider one's lack of common sense.
-
Life purpose is about the impact you want to have on others. It's about providing a service and business. "Wholeness" is more like a value you have for yourself unless you want to make others feel whole.
-
A lot of women reject biological essentialism, especially relative to maternity, because it feels stifling and demeaning. likr it's a myth. It's not wrong to be free and feel entitled to personal happiness in modern day, but you have to be delusional to think we're perfectly equal. The biological differences are very obvious. It would be easy for society physically enslave women if it wanted to. Post-modernism is such a luxury problem.
-
Survival first. Human children are so dependent for so long that women have to be more specialized evolutionary. You can't be a father without being good at survival, whereas women can rely on the man for their survival. You see this reflected in how women overwhelmingly select for men who are good at survival (fame, strength, wealth, status, etc.).
