Why do people these days have such a hard time accepting the fact that we're actually not equal?

[Snsl153]

We're individuals, with differing talents, interests, and hobbies. No two are alike. Men are different from boys, women are not girls, men aren't women, males are not like females. STEM (science, tech, engineering, maths) fields are dominated by men simply because men tend to be drawn to those subjects, they generally relate better to objects, machinery, processes and so on. Women on the other hand are more "people-oriented"; they are therefore more likely to wind up in careers that reflect that fact (ex. nursing, teaching, psychology), and that is why efforts to balance things out, to get more women to do STEM related courses are doomed to fail. You can't force a person to like something that just doesn't interest them.

We're not equal. Some are better than others, and some are more useful to society. If you're going to do a Liberal Arts course focusing on "gender studies", then expect to be unemployed for a LONG time after you complete your course and leave the safe-space of university (unless of course you decide to become a gender studies "professor", and perpetuate the cycle of uselessness).

EXACTLY! :)

[ohsheeT]

Out of everybody on here g a g I'm glad you're the person that has this question when somebody says we are equal they can only be talking about one thing we are all 97% the same DNA that is it we are created equal it's the next 2% 3% that changes this because now we inherit our parents g e n e s we are also born either girl or boy so you are 100% right we are created equal but we are not equal we can treat each other as an equal but people don't do that people are selfish and only think of themselves

For the last past month month and a half you have been going through something actually you have been going through something all your life but I can feel the intensity right now through all your questions you're angry you're upset because you have a battle on your hands because you want change and it's hard it's tough and it's just going to get harder and tougher as you get older to a point

In life when things happen we either can accept them or we can challenge them I feel your anger because everything you do is a challenge because that's who you are because that's what's going to get you to succeed to get you to the place you want to go and you know this but you're not understanding it right now or you haven't looked at it this way maybe I should say look at yourself where you have been where you have gone what you've been through what you have experienced from two years old to this day look at the Battle you've had and look who's one you have because you challenge everything that's who you are that's what's going to make you succeed and become the person you want to become when you learn how to walk you fall down you would get back up you'd fall down you'd get back up that's who you are in life no matter what you're going to always get back up but don't have the attitude with it you can be angry but that attitude hold you back and I understand why you have that attitude you are much stronger person than I am that's for sure you're smarter you're bigger and better person just because of what you've had to go through now I would like to say if you ever would like to talk about anything I will talk to you because there's something very cool value I'm not going to tell you that I have the right or the correct answer but I'm going to shine the light on it so you might be able to see a different way you have to remember at the same time you are a teacher you are a guide you are somebody to look at and understand you first of all because anybody on here that has read or answered any of your questions it's a learning moment it's a learning experience depending on how they read the question or how they understand it we are all created equal to a point and then that's where we change we are all supposed to be one that's what we're supposed to be that's in the perfect world but there's too many selfish people that's why this country this world is in the predicament that it's in because of greed because of selfishness and because they didn't ask a question like this anyway you are 100% right and if you ever want to chat please hit me up I would love to chat with you you've given me so much knowledge and insight and everyday life you're a beautiful person

[Snsl153]

I think that one of the biggest issues that humanity has to face in the coming years and decades, if survival of the human race is actually a priority, is the propensity to engage in self-deception. Being able to fool myself into believing something about myself that clearly isn't true, is a luxury I just don't have, because I've never been able to do it. I despise dishonesty to such an extent that I will never tolerate it in anyone for any reason, myself included, and yet society seems to be so sociopathic that it's almost the default setting when it comes to interpersonal relationships. That's how dysfunctional we've become. And yes, I am angry at how things have turned out, the current sad and sorry state of the world. We're on the brink of nuclear annihilation because of stupid politicians who want to engage in a macho pissing-contest.
Okay, rant over :)

[KostasKouvalis]

Okay. I was reading that and I remembered an article I saw a few years ago, from the UK I believe. Basically, they were complaining that their national parks don't get enough Black people. I thought to myself, "Because Black people don't like hiking and national parks. You can't force people to like something they don't."

So yeah, I basically agree with everything you said here. The biggest lesson I've learned from traveling that people everywhere are NOT the same. Sure, we share some commonalities, but we are more different than we are alike. Not just on an individual level, but on a larger level too. But I obviously don't have to explain to you. But that's exactly why multiculturalism doesn't work. The woke hippy leftists want us to believe that we all live in this perfect utopia where everyone is equal, yet these same people never try to immigrate or study in Black countries. If we were TRULY equal then every place on earth would have the same crime rates and standard of living. But they clearly don't. Anyone who believes that we're all "equal" and "people everywhere are the same" is fucking delusional. There is a huge difference between treating someone equally and someone being equal. Some people may not like labels, but we have them for a reason, and it irritates me when people say we shouldn't see color. I understand if we're using it for negative things but I see nothing wrong with saying, "Oh hey, you're Arab. Your culture is so different from mine, tell me about it." Seriously, I overheard one Iraqi girl at my university complaining that a professor was asking her questions about Iraqi culture. Like you ARE a fucking Iraqi. I understand you wanna be treated as an "American", but at the same time I see nothing wrong with people seeing you as an Iraqi if they are trying to learn. Like I don't get offended when people ask me about Polish culture.

Sorry about my rant but I swear, people are fucking retards! You won't deny that there are uniquely Aussie traits and even Tassie traits.

[Snsl153]

Yes, multiculturalism. In Australia, the government (but rarely anyone else) constantly preaches about it, about what a "great success" it's been in Australia. The facts, however, suggest otherwise. We are now starting to see ghettoes spring up in our larger cities like Melbourne, a place that used to be a nice place to live, but isn't anymore.
Multiculturalism, like socialism, just doesn't work. Multiculturalism, again like socialism, has been tried countless times, and failed every time. Both ideas are equally horrendous, impractical, and idiotic.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, those leftists are always preaching how "Unity is strength" It is when you're uniting with the right people. I don't know why it's so hard for these people to grasp that people with different values and priorities can't co-exist together. You need like-minded people to have a functioning society. Just look at world history. Most of the major conflicts have been the result of diversity, while the most peaceful countries have been the ones that are racially homogenous.

I don't know much about Aussie politics, but the government and authorities seem to have gone left leaning.
The governor of Texas dumped a bunch of illegals in Washington DC, now they are begging for help because they don't know what to do with them.

Trudeau in Canada was the same way. Everyone was welcome in Canada, until thousands of illegal Mexicans showed up on their borders. Then he was saying, "We can't just take all these people in without vetting them."
But my favorite was the Rebel News video where they were asking Liberals if they support housing Syrian refugees. All of them said "YES", until they brought an actor over and asked if they would house him right now.

Everyone is a Social Justice Warrior until the problem hits THEM.
I remember reading something about the ghettos as well as a rise in radical Islam in the country, but I don't know the details. I remember when Australia was very conservative and was sending Muslims to Nauru and Papua New Guinea and was against China.
I was surprised to learn there were already so many Lebanese there.

[Snsl153]

Unity is Strength? Sure, and War is Peace and Freedom is Slavery. How very Orwellian the left has become.
Australian politicians, even the so-called conservative ones, are so far left they make Justin Trudeau look like a Libertarian. Many of the Lebanese who live in Australia are actually Christian, because Lebanon itself isn't really a Muslim nation (about 40% Muslim, the rest are other like Druze, Christian).
I'll have to watch that Rebel News video.

[KostasKouvalis]

I know, what they're doing to free speech and press. I used to love Australia, but now I don't even want to visit as a tourist. They make even Biden and Newsom look tame. Hell, I have more respect and admiration for Macron, because Macron at least said that he's not gonna be bullied and intimidated by fanatical Islamists. So even Macron is more Conservative.

Oh okay. I didn't know it was the Christian ones. Christians are fine because Australia is also Christian. And actually you got those numbers reversed. Don't get me started on Lebanon. The Muslims have completely destroyed that country. You think the West would learn from their mistake, but apparently not.

Hang on, I'm trying to find it. It might've been taken down

[Snsl153]

Macron isn't that bad. No politician is actually any good in my opinion, but he's at least better than most.

[KostasKouvalis]

I agree. My French friend still hates him, but I don't think he's that bad anymore after what he pissed off the entire Muslim world by basically saying that chopping off heads is illegal in France, insulting Islam isn't. I've always admired the French because they've always stood up for their values and didn't let anyone intimidate them.

I found the video. The fact it was so difficult to find, should be saying enough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py1NZT5_NlA

[Snsl153]

That video is hilarious! :D :D :D Such hypocrites they are. "Oh yes, refugees are welcome in my home". Five minutes later: "Um, well unfortunately we can't help him today, and um... we only have one bedroom, and ahhhh... if he goes to this government department..."

[KostasKouvalis]

I knew you'd like that one ;) I'm thinking now they should've done the same experiment with a woman and child.

[Anonymous]

Amen sister! I agree with every word of this. I am SO FUCKING SICK of the woke bullshit and feminist nonsense we are bombarded with these days. We are DIFFERENT. So what?

I as a woman can go into STEM if I want to, just like a guy can, but I don't WANT to. Stop trying to make me do something I don't want to do.

But if I want to earn more money I'd better not go into a low paying career. And if I CHOOSE to do that, I can't fucking complain about it. Sorry people, but scientists bring more value to society that social workers do, and it's much easier to be a social worker. You can choose to earn lots of money, or you can choose easy. You can't have both. That's how it works. Choose accordingly.

[Jamie05rhs]

It's actually not easy to be a social worker. It's just that most of them have easy jobs because they're lazy and they don't want to actually do the work. So they just do the bare minimum that's required of them.

[Opinion Owner]

@Jamie05rhs Compared to other, higher paying jobs, it's relatively very easy to be a social worker and relatively little education or skill in needed. It is also a very low-risk, comfortable job.
Also, in most higher paying professions being lazy is not an option... lazy people get fired, or people die, or both. There are very good reasons why social work pays so little.

[Jamie05rhs]

You missed my point entirely.

But yeah, you're right that they have little accountability compared to other professions.

[Opinion Owner]

@Jamie05rhs I'm pretty sure I did not miss your point, and if 'accountability' was all you took from my response then it is you who missed mine.

[Guy13]

👋, the data is self-evident and your conclusion is common sense tested and approved. Different and loved through the eyes 👀 of Creator God.
You reminded me of some Rousseau where he roughly suggested that the basis of human freedom and inequalities therein are derived and determined by others both materially (stuff) and psychologicallySelf). —This is in opposition of freedom and individual authenticity. Even so, these inequalities are evidentiary and are confounded by fallen nature, feelings, and emotion as expressed in non-Republic government forms. —Still, with our evident inequalities apparent, equality of coexistence and a free citizenry in community is expressed as the individual (s) themselves are sovereign in their abilities to be free, rather than, a strict Domination verse Subordination as exampled in Tyrannical leaders and Communist/Nazi thought. —Jonathan Edwards expression of Will and the abilities to choose or choose not the option before us underpins a Sovereign individual free and equal existence. In sum, our inequalities, although affected by our genetic composition, are largely exampled in Accomplishment by what we choose and choose not as a Sovereign Being…

[Soteris]

That is mostly just nonsense. For example, you talk a lot about how preferences guides people down certain paths that ultimately results in a difference but you do not bring up that those preferences might not be based on gender in the first place. If anything our upbringing has a large influence on what we like or dont like to do later in life and the difference between women and men can easily be explained with how their upbringing and social expectations are different.

Lets use an example. Women are usually considered more interested in cooking and it is also one of their traditional roles in the household. Does this mean that women are inherently more interested in cooking or just a fact that they are introduced to cooking early on in life by for example helping their mother make food or bake cookies?

After all, children of any gender has no problems enjoying cooking if they are brought up in a family involved in the chef industry where they were presumably always introduced to cooking and associate it with positive things as opposed to the male stereotype that says they hate cooking anything more complicated than making a sandwich.

So no. Just because we choose or have our preferences decided for us by others does not mean we are not equal or "similar enough" that any difference is meaningless to argue over.

[Snsl153]

"... children of any gender..."
You mean children of either gender (there are only two). I spend a lot of time here correcting other people's atrocious grammar for some reason, and I've noticed that most who can't construct a sentence are from the English-speaking world.
Anyway, no, you're wrong when you claim that our preferences are decided for us. How? When I was very young, pre-school, I was interested in things that others actually made fun of; there was no pressure from anyone to go in a certain direction, it was my free choice, and I'm still interested in one of those subjects to this day (geography).

[Snsl153]

The example that you use (cooking) isn't very good either, because most cooks and chefs (like 98% of them) are actually MEN.

[Soteris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7E-aoXLZGY

Well, its good that you enjoy correcting grammar or whatnot. I on the other hand prefer to correct misconceptions, especially in the scientific or political fields. I find that most of the people who struggles with these are also from the English speaking world, most notably USA. Ill make an exception for you though.

"Gender" is literally against everything we know of biology. There is like 200 genetic variations between blond hair and brown hair and here you are saying that there are only two possible genetic states to gender being "male" and "female". In one word, that is stupid. "Gender" as you think of it is the result of countless variables randomly being thrown around anytime a person is born and growing up. Its not just a case of being one of two variables, its not even a spectrum since that implies there is two extremes and everything else falls between them. Gender is basically unique for each and every person and as such there are as many genders as there are people on the planet.

Of course, that is not very helpful so we made up the idea of "gender" to help facilitate communication. If I say "woman" you know what I mean, even if what I mean is scientifically incorrect. Its a matter of convenience but on the other hand, if we are to consider that language is meant to convey meaning and intent why would we limit it to two genders when we for a fact know that it is wrong and very unhelpful in our modern society?

Anyway, digression over. You are vastly underestimating the social pressure on children. The fact is that children all over the world is pretty much identical but if you look at different cultures you can see plenty of differences in how they mature as people. Everything from what colors they prefer to their work ethics to what they prefer to do as hobbies are entirely different based on how you grew up. You are no different.

[Wade12345]

Groethe was a true super-genius who invented the form of mathematics use in chemistry and nuclear physics and the quark model. Without Groethe we wouldn't have any of the equations for electrical or nuclear sciences. True genius. He also used his "Law of Attraction" to describe and predict human love relationships and suggested that you actually benefit by having more differences to one another rather than trying to date someone who is already similar to yourself.

Anyway, I agree with his statement on this topic too. The very fact we have I. Q. tests proves nobody believes we are all created equal in skill or ability. Morally equal under the law yes, but we are nowhere near equal in skill or anything like that, so let's stop pretending.

To that end, I do not believe in "Absolute Democracy". I insisted we need a "Qualiified Democracy" whereby anyone with less than a 100 I. Q. should not be allowed to vote, and anyone with a felony which has not been purged from their records should not be allowed to vote regardless of intelligence. How can you vote when you don't even have average reading comprehension. I have a 145 composite I. Q. score and one of the highest reading comprehension scores of anyone alive, and I have to admit sometimes even I struggle to understand what some laws and amendments on the ballot really mean and all their consequences, so I know someone with less reading comprehension than a 100 I. Q. scorer could have cannot understand those laws or amendments.

Anyone with less than 115 I. Q. should not be allowed to be a Representative at State or Federal level, and anyone with less than 130 I. Q. should not be allowed to be a Senator nor President. Sometimes I wonder whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden are even 100 I. Q. scorers, and I'm positive Kamala Harris is below average I. Q. if she was actually ever tested.

[Snsl153]

"Law of Attraction"? There is no such law, and I'm pretty sure you don't mean gravity.

[Wade12345]

Groehte Law of Attraction governs all three of the other three fundamental forces and he also proved it governs successful love relationships in humans too.

You shouldn't speak or type about subjects you know nothing of: that literally is the Biblical definition of a "fool". If you had even an elementary education on the relevant topics you'd know what I was talking about.

[Wade12345]

Without Groethe's law of attraction, we would not know how fire worked. Humans accidentally discovered how to use fire without every understanding it for millions of years. It was only the work o fNewton and Groethe who were close friends, that allowed modern chemistry to be discovered and in those case Groethe one-upped Newton and Mendelev, because his law Unifies three of the four fundamental forces we've discovered in nature..

[Wade12345]

You can learn a LOT by reading math and science books and attending college instead of spending all your time watching Sex and the City and other soap operas and rea ding trash romance novels instead of educating yourself.

Haven't you ever heard the song, "... we come to gether 'cause opposites attract..."

That's Groethe's law of Attraction. He wrote a formal logical proof that it works. You do NOT need physical evidence to prove most scientific truths, but the physical evidence has been found over 100 years ago that proves Groethe was EXACTLY CORRECT.

You kids today don't even know what logic is and don't believe anything you haven't seen with your own eyes.

Well you can't see air, but you'd be dead if it didn't exist, and you can't see coivid19 either, but it killed a million idiot Americans who refused to obey quarantine laws and refused to get the vaccine..

[Snsl153]

You don't need to preach to me about "reading maths and science books", because I'm so geeky that that's practically all I read. I actually read science DICTIONARIES (ex. The Penguin Dictionary of Physics, by John Cullerne) and find them interesting, so I know what I'm talking about when I say THERE IS NO LAW OF ATTRACTION! It's a pop-culture myth, it isn't real, so your claim that it "governs all three of the other fundamental forces" is just... well, the word "wrong" is the nicest way to put it.
"You do not need physical evidence to prove most scientific truths..." - Oh for goodness sake, I know a LOT about science, how it works and why, and YES, you DO!

[Snsl153]

"... attending college instead of spending all your time watching Sex and the City and other soap operas and rea ding trash romance novels instead of educating yourself."
Listen you condescending, ignorant twat, I'm not some stupid bimbo who immerses herself in fashion magazines and gossips about the Royal family, so what's with all this bullshit?

[DiscreetUser6]

Maybe because of all the alpha beta sigma theta BS that was fed to them over the years makes it impossible to accept that.

Every one wants to everyone else to see them as alpha nothing but alpha.

They forgot that even among wolves alphas are never consistent the pack will choose an alpha and will keep challenging the alpha to find another alpha, before a wolf becomes and alpha it was not an alpha and after it's replaced it's not alpha.

And when it's not an alpha it has to endure any weaker wolf has to put up with.

And if it doesn't know when to back down that will be the end of it.

So yeah not everyone is created equal, we all have our own strengths and weaknesses and we have to act keeping them in mind all the time and use them both to our advantage with a little wisdom.

Yes it's possible to use your weaknesses to work for you rather work against you, you just have to be willing to take a little risk.

[DiscreetUser6]

For give my grammar 😞

[DiscreetUser6]

*Forgive

[Snsl153]

The Alpha-wolf theory was discredited long, long ago, and was even renounced by the researcher who originally came up with it.

[DiscreetUser6]

Never took it seriously but have been around people who took it seriously and didn't really care if it was discredited or not 😂

[DiscreetUser6]

I know it is BS the moment I heard it

[DiscreetUser6]

I didn't think this question was aimed at the USA politics, thought it was asked in a generic way

[RealMarek]

Because it is in the founding documents of the dominant Western country, which has been captured by an elite filled with Marx-inspired ideologues who superficially claim to want equality in a material sense, while actually using this as an excuse to oppress and deracinate the general populace for the material and political benefit of the elites. Equality of opportunity is as false as equality generally and people against the left should not embrace it; it is impossible for everyone to have equal chances in life. English liberalism promoted equality of process, something much more feasible.

[Juan4574]

It is not that they do not accept that they are different, but that women are envious that men are more intelligent and dominate all sciences. I study dentistry and 67% of the students are women, that happens in all the programs of the health faculty. Still, in the last ten years only two women have won the Nobel Prize for Medicine. A common feminist complaint is that women in STEM are underrepresented. In truth, however, in 2012, women earned 40-45% of math, statistics, and physical science degrees.

[KBird]

More intelligent? I would go as far as to say that xD
I do agree with the statistics provided though.

[TheoPfeifle]

What people really want is equity. There's a big difference between equity and equality. Handicapped individuals, for example, have systems throughout society to aid them (wheelchair ramps, braille on bathroom doors, etc). That is an example of equitable treatment... Not equal treatment. Too often, people confuse this, seeking equality. The playing field cannot be equal, for equal opportunity... The field must be equitable, for equal opportunity to exist.

[grega239]

Because they have convinced themselves that men and women are separate from each other. Thats why they're pushing so hard to get women into male dominated occupations ( only the nice ones. They never mention tha lack of women in sewege treatment or oil rigs... funny that) by literally creating discriminatory laws and calling it representation and diversity.

[HaveNoName]

Just as difficult as it is for many to accept that women are not exactly the same as men. Then it leads to the argument that if men can do it, women can too and that there are no differing responsibilities between men and women and that a career takes precedence over bringing up good kids for women.

[normalice]

It's not really what people mean when they talk of equality. Equal opportunity is the name of the game. And to a lesser extent equal appreciation for equal honest effort. It is decidedly not a pursuit of equal reward for equal effort.

[Chazmatazz269]

It’s all about people’s feelings now. Feelings over facts; everywhere, all the time.

[lightbulb27]

If we focused more in the value of our uniqueness we’d be better off.


I think it’s emotional issue with feeling valued. Might stem from lack of good training and parenting

[ElementoP]

Fuck baby, you're turning me on. Keep talking!

No, but I agree with everything you said. Well done. Smart girl

[Snsl153]

Keep talking? Okay. How about this?
There are only two genders, men cannot be women and therefore shouldn't be allowed to compete in women's sports, socialism doesn't work, global warming is a scam, and speaking of scams, the so-called Covid pandemic was used as a convenient excuse to erode our natural rights and introduce Big Brother government into our private lives. Most millennials and Gen. Z are brainwashed, entitled idiots who are addicted to their stupid phones, "safe-spaces" are for losers, college is a waste of time and money if you're not studying STEM, and "leaders" like Trudeau, Biden, Ardern and others of their ilk deserve to be in prison for crimes against humanity. Carelessly printing money leads to hyperinflation; everyone knows that, except the idiots in Washington. Kamala Harris is a brainless, cackling hyena.
Have I said enough? :D

[blissinanarchy1]

Oh god. I agreed with you at first, then you turn around and said stupid shit about global warming, covid. What about Trump? He’s a con man, and a rapist.

[ElementoP]

No she's right about all of it, I wanna marry her. Trump is the man, you're just a pussy

[blissinanarchy1]

I’m not pussy you’re just a keyboard warrior. You’re scared of people who marry people that ain’t related, hick.

[Snsl153]

@blissinanarchy1 Global warming isn't real; there's not a shred of actual, hard evidence to support the hypothesis. It's all based upon computer modelling, which is unreliable at the best of times.

[Snsl153]

Hey, come on, let's not argue here. Blissinanarchy, what I've expressed here are, of course, my own personal opinions, and I'm not trying to convince or coerce anyone into accepting them. Putting all prejudice aside, you have to admit that various governments across the globe, including those that exist in my country, have use the coronavirus to further their own personal, political agendas. That's just a fact. I didn't say the coronavirus doesn't or didn't exist, nor did I make any other claims about it here.

On different degrees, in different countries... There's always one gender that overwhelms the other

[NathanDavis]

that's just life, it is what it is...

[Snsl153]

That doesn't mean we have to accept it, or can't do anything to change it.

[NathanDavis]

but not accepting it, and trying to change it... does not mean you would be able to change it

in fact, we have not been able to change most of it

there are still over a billion people out there who never have had basic services, and many of them are dying of hunger daily... there's millions of people who grow up and die without knowing that fun, or love, or joy is...

and all of this is happening because we do not actually do anything about that, and those who try really can't...

right now there's many of is that want equality, and for us it means we want better jobs, better opportunities to get ahead, end discrimination and all that...

our idea of equality is too look up at those who have more than us, and we want the same for us

and we all do this while all those millions of people just die in misery because at the end of the day, we really don't care for them that much... as we rarely or never look down and want equality for those "below us"

[exitseven]

We are equal but some are more equal than others.
