So, are we saying white women have a higher educational level than women of other races?
Traditionally, yes. Now, thanks to feminism's close cousin--Affirmative Action--any non-white female (especially non-US natives) can get a full-ride scholarship or at the very least an acceptance to an ivy league institution provided they have some marginal credentials. Dont believe me? Apply to med school.
Dont get me wrong-- it's not that I have a problem with women or minorities in academics, it's that I have a problem with
under-qualified minorities getting acceptances over well-qualified non-minorities (white men) based purely on their "under-represented" status. Rubbish. Thankfully, some states are now moving against AA and supporting merit-based matriculation; the way it should be.
20 years ago med school classes were~80% male. Now, in the post-feminist movement 21st century, classes are ~60% female, which has created a shortage in some surgical specialties; traditionally very male-dominated.
I have no problem with women in business, medicine, or law. What I have a problem with is the by-product of the feminist movement; which is certain groups of people getting special considerations irrespective of merit. "Glass ceiling" my as$. Women's rights?!? This is 2008, not 1908. I may be going out on a limb here but I think they have the same rights as any man does, even more so when it comes to certain legal issues.
First thay wanted equal rights. Fine, fair is fair and they deserve them. Now feminists are essentially pushing for preferential treament. It reminds me of growing up. My little sister would ALWAYS get away with wrongdoings simply because she learned how to manipulate the situation. Fathers always have a soft spot for their daughters, and she learned this very early. Now I love my little sister, but if any of you had younger siblings you know how frustrating this is. You give them an inch and they take a mile.
We live in a society now that has made great strides in civil equality, but unfortunately we now have a culture
where men are afraid to put their fvcking foot down!! What the eff, my brothers?!?
