Female Equivalent Words Quiz

equality of opportunity does not translate into equality of outcomes. Fewer women WANT to be investment bankers. We should EXPECT to see a tiny percentage of female investment bankers. If we start seeing a 50/50 parity, that would mean something in the system was broken and unequal. In the same way that Harvard now discriminates against Asian applicants because they get too many of them, and many many many industries and institutions now discriminate, openly and unashamedly, against "white" men. Which is awful. But commonplace. And they're trying to force women in to certain jobs and positions that most of them don't even want. Being a CEO or politician doesn't mean you are privileged. It probably means you are a psychopath. Those are the sorts of people who excel at those jobs. And more men suffer from psychopathy than women. Also men have more pressure to succeed and be financially independent because they are seen as valueless to potential mates if they do not.

"Success" can be a burden. Is all you want out of life to make money? Or do you want to be happy, content, and have all your basic needs met? If you want to see a really good indication of privilege you ought to look at these 3 metrics:

1. suicide success rate

2. homelessness rate

3. how many right swipes you get on Tinder

not salary. not representation in Congress. The former represents pressure to be self-sufficient, increased stress, and often isolation and depression. The latter represents like I said psychopathy or narcissism.

But the 3 metrics I gave above are perfect for painting a whole picture of just how privileged an individual is in a society in terms of how well their basic needs are being met. And, incidentally, taken together these 3 metrics would show that gays and especially transgender people are at the bottom of the privilege list. Some minorities or disabled also suffer in one or two areas. But women in the US are on top of all 3 lists.

If you want to port my metrics to Saudi Arabia, women there are much more likely to commit suicide than men, they are also much more likely to be homeless, and if one of them gets on Tinder they are as likely to be murdered by their own family as they are to find a date.

And even if none of what I said is true... "gendered" pronouns are not oppression. Income inequality? sure. Maybe. But not the same thing.

Ah yes, the classic heroic struggle of feminism for investment banking.

This is so cringe. Seriously? Right swipes on Tinder? Nothing makes you sound like an incel quite like saying women have achieved equality because men might express sexual attraction on a dating app. And using “suicide completion” is cherry picking; Western men are statistically more likely to use final means in an attempt than women for societal and cultural reasons that are likely very nuanced. It’s also laughable to say “success” isn’t a good indicator of equality… yeah, I’d think most women would want options and influence more than being swipable on Tinder. Anyway, your reasoning is all based on just your general hunches of the world, which are based only on how YOU feel about your own life experiences. The UN ranks the US 46th on the Gender Inequality Index… you know, based on empirical data and not general hunches, so even your argument that the US has equality seems pretty easy to disprove.
