Gender Equality According To Emma Watson. An Excellent Perspective

[MaxGrit]

Shall we talk about the myth of the gender wage gap?
Maybe the myth of 1 in 5 women raped in college?
Or how about the myth of the rape culture?

 

[candycorn]

Casualties of entrenched idiocy...yes.

There are what, 85 scholarships you can make available for your prized football team if you're the AD of a Div I College? Yet only 22 are necessary for an offense and a defense if you want a scholarship "student" athlete at each position.
ADs could have said, yup..we'll cut it down to 40 or 50 and share. But of course that didn't happen. Did it?

If the men's wrestling team has an enemy; it's not the women's volleyball team; it's the football team hogging all of the dollars and not returning that much value to the university in many cases.

Football teams generate as much as 90% of the cash in most major universities. The rest of the sports live off of their income. What's left over goes to the school.

90%? Gee, you'd think that tuition would be free at those universities. Somehow it's not.

Link for that?

No offense, but you learn more from doing your own research I've discovered.

You should start doing yours...
College Athletics Revenues and Expenses - ESPN
Myth College Sports Are a Cash Cow
NCAA report Economy cuts into college athletics - ESPN
Most NCAA Division I athletic departments take subsidies

Not 90%.

As much as 90%

I figured you'd be your normal reactionary self. Just when I thought we were experiencing a kernel of understanding.

It appears you're the type Emma Watson was talking about.

Sources indicate that few schools in the NCAA have sports programs that make money. Those that do are subsidized by tuition in most cases.

Feel free to provide links to back up your "90%" fantasy.

S

Yeah I hated it when Sandra Fluke called Rush Limabaugh a slut.

Why?

She was being sarcastic.

The entire premise that Sandra Fluke raised was not only controversial but ludicrous. Not to mention it was hatched with a deception.

I thought so. Rush has an amazing grasp of the obvious.

 

[MaxGrit]

Yeah I hated it when Sandra Fluke called Rush Limabaugh a slut.

She went to Georgetown because she wanted to sue the University. No other reason.

Besides, what's wrong with slut? I'm certain it's mainly women who use slut to denigrate other women.

The war on women from conservatives has no end in sight I see.

It's all in your mind.
Just ask Emma Watson.

It doesn't matter if it's in her mind. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. The strategy is to repeat the lie over and over like it's the truth.

A lot of women will fall for the lie because they don't know any better. There's really nothing we can do to prevent that from happening. They really have to learn their lesson from experience.

Thanks to the women's vote. It turns out that women knew better.

According to your first link several of them do. And I repeat for the English challenged, as much as 90%.

As much as means, up to that percentage, and major universities meaning big time football powers like Alabama.

Nobody said anything about whether it was net or gross, but if you're looking only to score points by misinterpreting my statement please carry on. I 'm on a cell, so I figure why bother when you can find out quicker yourself and and maybe even read the thing before totally discounting it entirely.

I give Obama no chance of winning in 2016.

Meanwhile, HRC leads all GOP opponents.

Clinton will do better if she runs.

Shall we talk about the myth of the gender wage gap?
Maybe the myth of 1 in 5 women raped in college?
Or how about the myth of the rape culture?

Well, that's sort of the point as to what she said.

Men, I would like to give this opportunity to extend your formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue, too. Because to date, I’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society. I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it would make them less of a man. In fact, in the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20 to 49, eclipsing road accidents, cancer and heart disease. I’ve seen men fragile and insecure by what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality, either.We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that they are. When they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence. If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.

I know I can, but won't.

And to clarify my remarks, since you're being an ass, in big schools with Big time football programs, football pays for the rest of the sports.

Is that clear?

And you wonder why men don't like you.....Jesus Christ.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

It always tickles me when a woman supposedly "hates" men...only the men who are the most hateful both in speech and their boyish antics are the ones that feel most betrayed.

Perhaps men who feel that women "hate" them should examine their own values.

Sometimes, maybe so, but there are indeed feminists who do hate men.
The first message board I joined back in '98 was the Ms Magazine board (no longer exists) and there were self-proclaimed feminists on that board, that came out and freely admitted they did not like men, and wanted to be as free from men as possible.

Now obviously there are certain men that make it easy for most women to despise them, but many of these women on this board, let it be known they were not interested in finding out which ones were okay, and which ones were bad. They simply hated them for being a man.

Sure there are all types in any large group of persons.

I'm of the opinion that the only reason you hear so much about it nowadays is that women have the power of the ballot between the sexes and will (soon) have the power of the pocketbook as more women graduate from college than their men. It's easy to ignore, chastise, and steamroll a group when there is no retribution. Now that the GOP is feeling retribution...the old boy's club is crying foul.

Get used to it.

So you populate a post bout feminism not being about man-hating with a response implying "retribution" and said men needing to be able to "take it like men"?

God, I love when progressives get mixed up on what bullshit they are supposed to spew.

God I love it when people have to mischaracterize what I say to desperately grasp for some sort of point. When women didn't vote, it was easy to ignore them. Just as it would be with any group. Decisions are made by those who show up.

Thanks in great part to Title IX, women had equal opportunities in college (it had more of an impact in the class room than sports). You see that manifest itself with more women graduating college than men (It has been that way since the mid 80's if I recall). With education comes tactics on how best to achieve political or societal goals. Voting is an open avenue and women are using it.

The GOP, for reasons only known to them, has passed something like 4,000 restrictions on reproductive rights, are forcing women to drive up to 800 miles to have an abortion due to these restrictions, so on and so fourth. All that has happened in the last two years.

So politically, there will be retribution. If you don't like it..tough. That is simply the political reality. That the GOP is dominated by old white men is just a coincidence. Women in the GOP who are just as brain dead as their male counterparts will be targeted too.

And yet Romney got 44% of the overall female vote. so 44% of women are brain dead?

Keep digging. Also Title X was a disaster for small mens sports in colleges, but hey! can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs...

The "brain dead" comment says it all, probably a waste of time to argue further with her.

Whatever you say dickless...

Football doesn't pay for itself in many cases; much less other sports.

Anyway...there is no need to have 85 free rides for football. I mean, if there were 50 free rides, would you stop tuning in?
The 3rd string QB may have to actually play a down or two, coaches would stop shelving talent to keep their competitors from having it, and other sports may flourish. I'm dubious that any State money should be spent on any of these endeavors but at least in college, you can choose to attend or not. It's you guys who think sports actually "make a man" out of you....

But no...CF needs 85 players to get free rides.

 

[MaxGrit]

Here's a story:

My younger sister attends University of California. A couple months ago, I was talking to her about feminism and how it promotes misandry. I told her that feminism is stupid because it harms women.
My sister suddenly said, "Hey you know, I have a friend who is a feminist. She would be so mad to hear you talk right now."
Taunting my sister, "Really? I would like to see how mad she gets when I tell her the truth about how feminism sucks."
"She would get so mad."
I looked straight at my sister and asked, "Am I right? Does your friend hate men?"
She made a guilty face and replied with a awkward laugh, "Yea, I think she does. She would get angry at the men on campus and rant to me about how they suck."
"Why? What did they do?"
"I don't know. I don't think they did anything to her. She's just pissed off a lot."
Laughint I asked, "Did she get you to go a feminist meeting?"
"Yea, she got me to go a couple of times."
"Is it pretty much what I described to you?" I asked her with a serious face.
"It's boring so I don't go much. All they do is get angry and talk about how the all guys on campus are bad and how hard it is to find a good guy," she chuckled.
I laughed and imagined how all those angry feminists meet to talk about how they can't find any good guys.

Judging by her conduct it's no wonder she feels this way.
She only has herself to blame.
