- “The way I look at it,” Mr. Alquicira explained, without a hint of awareness that he was turning the tables on a time-honored feminist creed, “is that anything, basically, that a woman can do, a guy can do.”
I dunno. I don't believe he said this without realizing what he was saying. Unless hes somewhat mentally disabled. Not necessarily full blown down syndrome. But something. Maybe he grew up without a mom or dad or something. Or was completely isolated from those social shits that bury into you no matter how politically correct you may try to be or were raised to be. Or hes one of those feminist guys who just say that shit to prove that all guys aren't cocks. I dunno. Maybe I'm just pessimistic. Maybe one day itll be like what he said. But today...no. Argue with me. Prove me wrong. Call me an ignorant bitch. Seriously.
That does not mean that men are displacing women — those same occupations accounted for almost two-thirds of women’s job growth. But in Texas, for example, the number of men who are registered nurses nearly doubled in that time period, rising to 22,532 from 12,709, and increasing the percentage of male nurses to 10.5 percent, from 8.4 percent. Men make up 23 percent of Texas public schoolteachers, but almost 28 percent of first-year teachers. The first statement is inconclusive, and the Texas data is too specific to reveal a national trend. This kind of stuff happens all the time. It's as if a reporter has a hunch about a social trend, then does a half-assed job of finding data to support the story. There might be a actual trend here, but the article doesn't allow you to draw that conclusion. At any rate, I agree that real inequities remain. It's bizarre that 50% of the voting population has to deal with this. Personally, I put most of the blame on the patriarchal nature of most religions in the US. They help maintain a narrative that not only pushes male-domination, but defines sexual equality as a rejection of something, rather than a natural state of operations. Still IMHO, the US is slowly coming to terms with the notion that whether or not you are a man or a woman is pretty much irrelevant when it comes to most things. But even so, I still encounter guys that degrade their wives as if it didn't make them look like complete assholes.An analysis of census data by The New York Times shows that from 2000 to 2010, occupations that are more than 70 percent female accounted for almost a third of all job growth for men, double the share of the previous decade.
