Sexism isn't real

    Women do better in school than men: women are naturally better
    Men make more money than women: sexism

    There's more women in college than men: women are naturally better
    There's more men in top level jobs and political offices: sexism


    Do women actually believe sexism is still holding them back? And does their own hypocrisy not bother them?
    I'm not talking about women's rights in the Middle East, or using examples from the 1950's. In the modern developed world, sexism doesn't exist, but (lots of, not all) women absolutely refuse to accept that they're no longer victims

    Actually, it seems it does exist.

    You make no sense whatsoever.

    People judge women on their weight and appearanes and how many partners they've had etc far more than they do men. Unfortunately it's alive and well!

    What do you think is behind those facts?

    Sexism, yeah :rolleyes:

    And when women are better at something, it's just a way of life

    Sexism was always around and probably will be with regards to attitudes etc.

    Women are equally as guilty as men of it..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭Bad Panda


    Hmmm. Another woman bashing thread...not even in disguise...

    If you think men are in more higher-paid jobs and political positions because they're better at those jobs than women, tell me what it is that makes them better.

    Right, so you have no answer. Resorting to this thing :rolleyes: shows the weakness/non-existance of your argument. If you have words, logic, sense, facts etc, let's hear them.

    I never said men are better at those jobs, try reading what I actually say instead of leaping to conclusions

    Men die younder: women are naturally better
    Women arent allowed beards: sexism

    Women get 1 more piece of underwear: women are naturally better
    Men have more things contained in their underwear: sexism

    This is fun:D

    Both genders are sexist but women make more noise about it

    I didn't presume that was what you thought. I didn't know what your opinion on the matter was (it wasn't clear from reading what you wrote) so I wanted to know if that was what you thought.

    So can you tell me: if sexism doesn't exist, what's the reason for the disproportionate number of men in high-power positions?

    Well, only one bloke started this retarded thread.

    Score one for Team Vag.

    Men are taller. They can see better jobs that are further away
