serious question.?

Question

Men,

at what point do we have to take a serious stand. Let be honest, for years, women were discriminated against. They deserve equal rights and equal opportunities.

But now it is men who are discriminated against. Women have to meet lesser standards in physical jobs such as the military and police officers. Thus, more qualified men are losing their jobs.

Feminists have convinced lawmakers that women and men are completely equal, even though thousands of years of biology proves the top men will always be stronger than the top women, and thus, jobs based almost exclusviely on physical strength are going to be dominated by men. Yet, women have taken those jobs away from men with these discriminatroy laws.

In all honesty men, at some point we have to draw the line. This is not fair. Just because women were discriminated against does not give them a right to discriminate against us. Any thoughts on how to address this problem??

Answer 1

My guess is it will take 3 to 6 generations dating from the 1980's

What will happen is that it will get worse before it gets better .
You see femenism had men on there side

it will take a while before women realize that by deriding men they are hurting themselves and %50 of there children

Once these male children grow up there going to be put through the same condtions until its worse and worse

dont expect direct sympathy to get men far if at all . what will get men eventualy out of this conumdrum is how the negative aspects of femenism will impact women

Answer 2

First, last time I checked the military was not turning qualified men away. Furthermore, very few jobs are exclusively physical.

Secondly, there are still many glass ceilings and other issues women face in the workplace.

Finally, if you want a place where there is an issue - go look at the number of men graduating from college last year vs. the number of women. Women outnumber men in colleges by a significant margin. This precipitates a big change in our society in 20-30 years. The resolution is that, outside the most prestigious universities, men are given an advantage in admissions and even this is no longer enough.

Answer 3

I absolutely agree: women should not get jobs that they are not qualified for. Physical strength standards should not be lowered for women. I think to do so not only causes reverse discrimination (discrimination against more qualified individuals), but also compromises the safety of the co-workers and the public. It also causes lowered morale in the work-place. Men aren't the only people in this situation to suffer from lowered morale. I'm sure that the women suffer, too. In actuality, it probably causes more men to have prejudiced attitudes against women. I don't think women should be kept out of these professions, I just think they should have to pass the same tests (with the same sets of standards) as men. Those standards were set where they are for a reason- it's about safety. I am a feminist (I believe in equality). Laws that cause reverse discrimination do not promote equality. If anything, they are causing more issues between men and women instead of solving them. The concept of "leveling the playing field" is a good one, but putting into practice in a way that is fair to all is much more difficult than it appears. Some things (like safety) should never be compromised. You can't blame women for wanting equality. Lawmakers are bound to make a few mistakes along the way when trying to help resolve the issue of hundreds of years of discrimination. Not every law is a good law. Sometimes the effects of a "bad law" do not become fully apparent until after it is put into practice. I realize many women out there are probably going to give me "thumbs down" for this answer..but let's be realistic here: if you were hurt and about to be carried down a ladder from the top floor of a burning building, would you want a man to do it, or would you feel safer with a woman who's less physically strong?

Answer 4

Sorry but get ALL your facts straight. Yes many police/military jobs give woman lesser standards however I don't know any woman that wants these different standards. I have a degree in Criminal Justice so I have seen many women go through this process and every one of them actually did everything by the same standards of the men for the simple reason that they did not want to have any man try to tell them they couldn't do things the same as a man. I don't know one woman who wants these different standards, and speaking for myself I am quite offended that women are treated differently. If a job is to be done it should only have one set of qualifications. Secondly, you are very wrong that men are "always" stronger. I can't even tell you in the field that I am how many women I have seen take down countless men. I have seen 100 pound women take down huge men. Many of these women work out a lot and can out lift men and a lot of it has to do with training. When you go through your training you are taught how to take down people of many different sizes. There are different ways to take down a large person rather than a smaller person. I guarantee that there are thousands of men and women who are stronger than you so does that mean you shouldn't get a job. Also, in these fields you have to have women. Men cannot do some things to women such as searches, they need to be done by women. There are other jobs like firefighters for example where women do not have different tests. I know a few women firefighters and they did not get any time differences or get to carry any less weight, they had to do everything the same. I also hate to tell you too that women are still not equal as far as pay. It's a fact that in a lot of jobs women are not paid as much and for the number reason being that women can have children. Because they can have children means that a company cannot rely on them to be there for a whole year because if she gets pregnant she can leave for a few months which means that they either fall behind in that job, are short handed, or have to pay to replace her for a short time. Men can take the same leave after having a baby yet they don't get less pay. Doesn't sound equal to me. It sounds to me like you didn't get a job and now you are blaming it on women. Why don't you stop blaming women and take a good look at how you can improve upon yourself so that you do get the job next time.

Answer 5

I don't know what the situation is for the police forces across this country, but the military is not displacing qualified men to fit women in. As a matter of fact, the military NEEDS more people to enlist, and it ain't because of the lower standards for women that's causing enlistment numbers to be low. Besides, for the military, the jobs that require the higher physical standards to be properly done don't allow women in them anyway.

Answer 6

you know you are right to a certain point....there are jobs men can do that women cant....we still get discriminated against...the jobs we can do like a man we dont get the pay that a man does on that same job and thats not right....we do the job we should have equal pay....if women can do the jobs then why not let them? whats so wrong with women doing those jobs since we can and want too....do you see alot of men trying to get the ones that the women are there for....no.

Answer 7

Only a small number of women have taken those kinds of jobs. The dividing line is risk, and when a job has a lot of physical risk associated with it, women stay away in droves. So while you see some women in those jobs, their numbers shouldn't make you worry about job loss.

Answer 8

I'm in the Army, and the different PT standards are really a detriment to women. Yes, PT test standards are more lax for us, but many of the men use that as a reason to taunt us, hold us back, and discriminate against us. Women in the military have it really rough. Are you suggesting that women shouldn't be in the military?

Answer 9

I think you need to take a page from histories book. You sound like Happy Bullet, who was afraid women were going to beat him up. Be realistic. How could women possible dominate men? They have had access to reliable, portable weapons for almost a hundred and fifty years and have not put them to the use men have by many orders of magnitude. Take a chill pill.

Answer 10

Maybe you should consider becoming a transsexual. Or at the very least, a transvestite. Then, you get to really have all the right equipment with the right appearance! Just saying.

Do women's sports teams place their smallest, least qualified players into the most crucial positions, and maintain a realistic expectation of winning their games?

Answer 11

If u back to the long long past u find that discrimination was much more than what it is today. I think as time passes it is decreasing and u never know one day it may come to 50::50 ratio.
