Odd, I thought that Norway was giving out jobs in boardrooms solely based on having a vagina. It has reduced the value of those companies by 20%, but who cares? Equality, right? | ||

I saw a youtube video of Oslo police saying that all sexual assaults ending in rape were committed by "non-western" men. So they could discriminate even further by targeting foreign males. Men cause more accidents then women, we should tax them for it. It's not a sexist remark it's a statistical fact. If we prevent them form driving we will see a large decrease in traffic accidents Girls do worse in math, therefore we prevent girls from entering high level math courses. It's not a a sexist remark, it's a statistical fact. If we prevent girls from taking math classes we will see a spike in math classes every where. What's the difference between the two comments? One is a extremely offensive remark, and could lose a politician his career. The other is a brilliant idea and is being voted on as we speak. Why is that? I realize this was posted a while ago, and perhaps someone called you out on this. But in case nobody did...let me inform you since you seem to be a little uneducated here. I'm a Computer Engineering and Psychology double major on my last year. Have you ever wondered why women typically score lower on math? There are many different theories..However, there have been multiple psychological studies performed; and when the teenagers taking a test aren't told beforehand the statistics of how the genders performed in each category, guess who outperformed who in Math? Women did. Guess what happened when women were prefaced beforehand that math is statistically proven to be a male "thing". Well, women performed far lower than men. Psychology and the mind is a powerful thing. Culture has deemed gender roles, and each gender tends to follow it. For those that don't, guess what happens to them? They succeed. For example, there are barely any women in the engineering dept. here at my University; but they outperform the males in math and in logic courses. FFS...sometimes it is so frustrating trying to get this information out there. Don't feed into the societal garbage and break a person, or gender in this case down. | ||

It makes sense that since you can't spell affirmative action, you also don't know what it entails. Jobs aren't give out solely based on nationality or gender here either. In some cases they are allowed to consider race/gender as a factor, but minority quotas are already banned and individualized consideration is required. I should also note that the Supreme Court has been taking a dimmer and dimmer view of affirmative action in its current form, and it's only a matter of time until it is replaced by intervention based on socio-economic status. Which seems much better to me. | ||

The fact that they've moved from subtle discrimination of men to obvious isn't a surprise. You get cocky after 40 years of winning. Yep. My thoughts exactly. They want to dominate men. They want to keep their privileges while expanding their rights. It's to be expected; that's why they love painting themselves as the underdog. That's still true in a lot of countries and cultures; but in many areas, like certain professions, in the exercises of many privileges, they should not be allowed to cry foul where it no longer exists or never did. Anyway, this female politician probably isn't conscious of gender equality because, really, no one calls women out on it. People should. | ||
