29: Education – Conclusion
Looks at the negative consequences of feminised education, not just for men, but for wider society and the future progress of humanity. CAUTION: Broad terms are used in describing male and female abilities. • Exam results and what they really mean in today’s education system • Men and competition • Coursework versus Exams • Why girls don’t study physics
@TheLordmep Brilliant. I remember that quote, but not the episode.
@stephjuhler999 Your mistaken assumption is Jane does better than Joe because of ability. That’s just it, female students today are less able and qualified than they’ve ever been. Example – despite women supposedly doing so well in school they fail to translate this education into real world applications, and thus real earnings. 80% of women at age 50 still haven’t paid off their student loans. That’s because women overwhelmingly go into soft subjects which have no real world value.
When I say not frequent or significant enough this is what I mean. Lets take sports as a example.The best athletes in the world at competitive sporting events will be exclusively male. This isnt to say women cannot be gifted athletes but to the scale and and degree that men are is not possible. Now these gifted women are indeed exceptions but they arent common and they arent gifted enough to the degree that it effects the highest performance level of athletic competition between men.
So essentially what im saying is that we will always have brilliant women in athletics and the sciences and in every field of life because those qualities are universal and not isolated to gender. However the potency and frequency of these qualities is more frequent and more significant in men then in women. This isnt a bias but a fact and who knows maybe one day we will have a women to disprove this but we will never get there with the way society is heading.
@TheLordmep I like it when pop culture or real-world observations illustrate the point so nicely. Thanks.
Despite all of this, women only encompass about 28% of the professional jobs that make 40k a year or more. I think much of what is being ignored is that guys will go to trade schools, or 2-year colleges so they can get to making money. At the university level, I am -almost- tempted to say “who cares how well these woman are performing?” An A student studying English Lit will -probably- make less than a B/C student studying engineering. Of course this just segues into how men are money driven.
@manwomanmyth No prob. I enjoyed it too. The episode goes on with Lisa not getting the education she desires on her side, so she dresses up like a boy and convinces Bart to train her accordingly. In the end she wins some sort of best student award where she reveals herself as a girl.
Lisa “You see everyone. A girl can be good at math.”
Bart “She only became good at math cause I turned her into a burping, farting, punching machine.”
Close with Lisa punching someone.
You reap what you sow, so says the proverb. We have the most sexually depraved, warlike, greedy, divided, society that the earth has ever known. That is a reflection of its teachings, be they religious or secular. That is why the global problems are what they are, a world in terminal decline, a world morally bankrupt, its only objective is selfish indulgence to the exclusion of all and everyone else. The air, the water, the food, the planet, are all polluted because of our moral decadence.
I raged at psychology being ‘A more modern and up-to-date subject’
Yes, fine but in comparison to what? Jesus.
with lots of pictures, so girls can do it to!
The problem to-day is that the UK’s education system has been allowed to become completely feminised,with female teaching staff instilling feelings of superiority in girls and inferiority in boys.
Unless these negative feelings are challenged they can and do persist into adult life with unfortunate knock on consequences for many males.
It should be viewed as sexism but bizarrely it’s seen as “positive” discrimination instead.
However, I dislike the comment at the end, ‘Men build, women decorate.’ This is understandable and I do agree with you, but only in a limited capacity. You need to take both genders as a whole as well as what exceptional individuals from each gender are capable of. It is true that humanities and social subjects appeal more to females and hard sciences to men, because their brains are kitted out towards that
@Isikien Not only that but consider the negative aspects of a gender’s default perspective. Females are typically at their worst manipulative and controlling. Men are, at their worst, destructive and beligerant. Both sexes are ok with this occuring in their same sex friendship circles because these are the gender attitudes that they themselves live by. Not to mention that these are the factors that inevitably allow them to mate and eliminate competition when they are courting the opposite sex.
@Isikien The most important thing I think you addressed is how this emasculates men, because I agree with you. In the same way that in centuries passed, the role of a female has been backseated, the same thing is happening to men now. I also agree that the elimination of the ‘competition’ factor, an element that attracts much female hypocrisy since they are just as competative in other aspects.
@Isikien To all feminists thinking they are the fairer sex, this is not true. I spent two years in an all girls class and I can tell you now, there is tons of bullying and deliberate isolation of individuals. Saying you have morals akin to that of the virgin mary is ridiculous, you are just as guilty of backstabbing and manipulating people, even more so in the environment that has been created in our current education system, because you are allowed to get away with it and men arent.
@Isikien In conclusion you present an excellent argument that has one flaw, your personal bias at the end. Both men and women are required to create equilibrium. It is a fact that men and women are naturally good at hard sciences and humanities respectively but with experience and personal preference, these gender barriers can be broken. I hate to say it but for all your good points, you fail to consider that there are exceptions to gender preferences. Marie Curie anyone?
Excellent video btw
You know I was agreeing with this video on points like education being made easier to allow more girls into college being harmful I mean we shouldn’t be lowering the bar
but then near the end I just started thinking the narrator is as biased as the people he’s complaining about.
“Men build women decorate”? seriously?
We shouldn’t dumb down education but we should discourage everyone men and women to try and succeed either.
I’m thinking of going into Fish and Wildlife (I live in the US, in a very rural, wild area). There have been a few F+W-type classes at my high school in recent years (Field Biology, Mammal Tracking, etc.). I and a lot of the boys loved these classes, and most did very well. Going out hiking to identify animals tracks and set scent posts was something very interesting. Oh, and guess what. When the class started, there were 3 girls. 2 dropped out.
@SoggyPizzaPockets1 Good to know. Thanks.
@TheLordmep Season 17, episode 19.
This is an inspiration.
@stephjuhler999 More women go to the University because education isn’t about ability any more. It’s about obedience.
Case in point – I took two semesters of entry level physics in college. Exams only counted for %30 of your grade. 70% of your grade came from labs, which were group work and the smartest kid did all the work for everybody else, quizzes in class which came immediately after the teacher went over the material, and turning in homework assignments.
This, a college physics course.
@TurkeyCannon
Someone missed the point of the whole series purely on the basis they they cannot accept the reality of life.
Popping out kids and decorating the world, oh and feeling peoples pain (not experiencing it of course) are pretty much the female role on the planet. Yet we bias the education systems to ensure that there are no longer any boys left to do the things which gals dont want to do or cannot do as effectively as men !
Not mysogeny – scientific fact – but gals dont do science!
@Isikien It is kind of funny how people tend to forget that marie currie’s research was a joint effort between her and her husband. Not to take anything away from her because she is a brilliant women but it seems like history tends to depict her as some a solo act for some reason lol. Anyhow I dont think he was failing to consider exceptiosn because he noted that they do exist, but just not to a degree that is significant and frequent enough.
In the end the people who move and shape this world are men and women but each in different ways. by denying men the right to realize there potential we hold back society…in fact someone like Marie Curie would have been hurt but the current dumbed down feminized education system too because bad education and bad science just doesnt affect a single person it hurts society and everyone Without men being able to be men society has lost what it make it what it is.
