“Feminism as a movement for political
and social equity is important, but
feminism as an academic clique
committed to eccentric doctrines
about human nature is not. Eliminating
discrimination against women is
important, but believing that women
and men are born with
indistinguishable minds is not.
Freedom of choice is important, but
ensuring that women make up exactly
50 percent of all professions is not.
And eliminating sexual assaults is
important, but advancing the theory
that rapists are doing their part in a
vast male conspiracy is not.”
I think this is a fallacy. the olden days were way worse. to put in presepective Carrots improving vision is propaganda created by the british yet see how many people believed it. Humans inventing and accepting fake beliefs to comfort themselves was never a new thing. Governments gaslighting its own citizens is communist party 101.
People always want to believe that yesterday was better and blame their problems on the new.
"The University of Melbourne recently advertised for three senior positions in mathematics intended for women. Their argument is that, by underrepresenting women on the faculty, they are not providing adequate support and representation for female students in mathematics (and by extension other STEM fields)."
So their argument is that female teachers teach feamle students better. So in this line of reasoning, traditional schools that separate by gender are better? Way to go full circle.
