“Hjernevask” (the Norwegian word for “brainwash”)

Norway is portrayed as the country in which both genders are more equal than in other countries.

So why has a documentary made to explore the issue of 'gender studies'.

"The Gender Equality Paradox"

Very interesting.

Completely unabashed and shameless, the educated middle class elite women who are feminist policy in Oz would be putting that quietly to bed. Definitely not something the feminists would be looking into, no Siree. Not something the 'fact-finding' ABC and SBS might be reporting either. Not with their informal editorial policy, PC rules!

Still, most of the whining old trout are in their sixties or more, so young women and their loved menfolk will soon be free of them at last. Not so the staff of old people's homes who are going to have to look after them. Its going to be a rough old time for any old fellow who has been surviving long enough to admitted to aged care. That doesn't bear thinking about.

Lol! This old rubbish story again.

I looked up the Red Pill website above and it stated ..."The Red Pill: Discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men."

So I stopped reading it, as it was obviously a site only for men with no "sexual strategy" and no positive identity.
Oh for goodness sakes!

Suseonline,

Good Lord, that was rather early for one of your drive-bys.

Something missing from your life last night?

On the contrary Onthebeach, and I certainly don't need to get my excitement from bizarre, radical websites like the one suggested on this thread.

Anyway, I will leave you boys to play happily together on this one, as yes, this is a drive by!

You all have a mighty fine day now.
cheers,
Suse.

Suseonline says!

Suse, so your position is that any link which comes from sub-reddits which you don't like is not worth considering?
I watched part one, most of it I already knew but the way the American scientist described his findings was interesting and not something I'd considered before.
People in modern Liberal countries are free to follow their natural inclinations so the innate gender differences become more apparent whereas people in less developed societies with fewer options for personal growth are naturally going to be more driven toward the best paying, most prestigious jobs. According to this Dr Lippe it goes a long way to explaining why in India and the middle East there are more women training to be scientists and engineers than in the West.

No point in getting into the full complexity of this topic, it would be wasted on OLO. All the analyses I've seen (on both sides) are cr*p. So just one point...

" whereas people in less developed societies with fewer options for personal growth are naturally going to be more driven toward the best paying, most prestigious jobs.

There's one major thing wrong with this analysis ... in India and the Middle East, science and technology jobs may be the 'best paying, most prestigious'.

This is definitely not so in Australia! Most scientists here, male and female, are lucky to get any job, let along a prestigious best paying one. Many give up and change career to support their families. Some try to do research while working at something else to make a living (some are really dedicated: I knew one guy who worked in a hardware store and did research on the side; one who did research on the dole; another sold their house to pay for their research ... I could go on). If you're lucky enough to get a university job, it will be short-contract dependent on research funding which has a success rate of ca. 15%. If you worked for CSIRO, chances are your branch was closed down and you were made redundant.

So, maybe women are just too smart and pragmatic in Australia to go into such a risky area as science and technology. My advice to aspiring young scientists (including in my own family): go ahead if you are truly passionate about science but do not expect to get a job.
