and find it very hard to address. they take the top surface of an issue and put out as a fact and reality and ignore all the tentacles, very real issues that they themselves create and dont own.
take the dumbing down of men in commercials and sitcoms, doofuses. men are creating these sitcoms. many men cheer it on. in our home, since the kids were little (having two boys), i never allowed this to be fed to my boys without addressing what media was doing. men like the idea of the forever idea that they cannot clean. why? cause then it gives them an excuse and gives it to the women. men like the idea that they are nothing but beer drinking, sports watching slobs. and these men especially like the promotion from the beginning of time they are directed and guided in life by their dick and women are only placed on this planet to service them. because it allows them dominance and control. we see it on du, continually promoted as who they are.
it is these conditioning's of gender, with our boys or our girls, that we are conditioning them to be, that is not their authentic to self. and what i often am addressing.
on the other hand, they present an article saying "occasionally" discriminate against women in advancements/promotions. there is nothing occasional about it. it is a network. all us that went to college understand how networking works and the inherent disadvantage to women and rise on the corporate ladder.
when reading about women wanting to be more involved with children. well hey, another societal conditioning. as we have seen, if circumstances are such where the man has the opportunity, he is right there. BUT... per the SAHM thread, this is where iverglas is right on. we talk about what the SAHM brings to the family fiscally. this would be it. when there is one person in the home (and has significantly been the woman) it allows the partner to put all those hours in and have advancements/promotions/raises at the detriment of all employees that have outside life. so, the SAHM really is helping the continuation of the unlevel playing field of male advancement.
i have read these articles from mra. they are very challenging in so many ways. what i consistently note is they do NOT take responsibility for their own feeding of all this.
but then, i can say the same about women.
