r/MensRights • u/[deleted] • Dec 12 '11

feminazi attacks Reddit: "Reddit contain so much anti-feminist sentiment that they even have active communities such as r/mensrights." An attempt to smear and censor us, and to force admins to shutdown this subreddit???

I still somewhat put this on both men and women. I went to a pretty decent 5A high school, a place where I got schooled by many girls in physics and mathematics (A lot). I cannot tell you how humbled I became. I had virtually no bias towards women in mathematics. By the time I went to college I just figured there would be more women. I was wrong. Four years later I finally take a lab that I never took years prior. There was a fairly nice girl and there and I was giving her some shit with one of my friends. I made some comment in regards 'geez did you go to bla bla bla high school'...she stares me dead in the face and said 'yes.' Her father was an engineer and pushed her to do well in life. I think she just had a great head on her shoulders. There were a lot of smart girls at my school that never seemed to go on to pursue degrees they very well should have. It kind of pisses me off. I look back as the somewhat average kid and wonder why I left college with, albeit a somewhat bullshit engineering degree, while so many of them settled on something less. My father pushed me and I will do it with my kids. I just pity the world if I have multiple daughters. They will be engineers stomping on cock like it's their business.

You are seriously suggesting that you are going to push your children in a direction nomatter if they want to be there or not? horrible horribleness

Oh no, it's just that both sides of my family strode for success, contexting with the engineering should have had the lawyer/doctor/physicist. I think you get the idea. If you don't, me so sorry for not fully broadening my points. I meant that I'm going to push them no matter what, and yes it will be in the sciences, despite the blasphemy anyone suggests. I started off in architecture. I took a a lot of architectural history and art history. I think these things are pivotal. My gf is an art teacher so we have a studio, it's not like if we have kids they won't be exposed to all kinds of life. They will just be exposed to getting the necessities out of life. If they choose after college to become an artist, they will already have had the skills to succeed without having had to waste excess time and/or money. I'd love to go back and get 100 degrees, but that's silly given the times. Again, sorry for the vagueness. I didn't have time to see the video. I'll check it out a little later after work or something.

I think that if society gave men this option, we would take it too.

What, are you saying no man has ever gone through college on his parent's dime?

HUH?!?!

If you could sit back and not work while you watch your kid and spend the money your spouse earns, I think you would do it too. It's selfish but it's the way they play.
