Science: It's a Girl Thing !

This Disgraceful video was published by the European Commission for a campaign designed to attract more women to a career in science. The commission said that the video had to "speak their language to get their attention" and that it was intended to be "fun, catchy" and strike a chord with young people. "I would encourage everyone to have a look at the wider campaign and the many videos already online of female researchers talking about their jobs and lives,"
The original video was taken down after it received so many negative comments.

wow first that was the shittiest analogy because all you did was show that SOMETIMES talking in generalizations may be pointless for example saying most people who major in math like math is not a pointless generalization. Also most people who do heroine have withdrawal symptoms is not a pointless generalization.

2nd where do you get your stats from? I'm quite sure it's Asians that are the highest rates in college yes true quite alot of african immigrants that study here but alot also dont

If your generalization saying "men are likely to do more dangerous jobs, that is a dangerous job thus more men probably do it" yes you are.(hmm that's not really a good ex. b/c it tends to be true considering those jobs usu require great deal of strength;I dont get why mra complain about that) Men tend to negotiate for more.I learned that fact years ago. You aren't blaming this on discrimination are you? This has nothing to do with men tending to take more risks then women or more assertive?

Nope, you can support something without being a part of it. Also there's a massive difference b/w traditional feminism & modern feminism. It's like how the republican party today is differ from the republican party during the civil war, just b/c someone supports some of the 1800's republican platforms doesn't mean that they're a republican today.

Typically when I say "feminism" I'm referring to the modern movement, this is akin to when people say they are republicans, they refer to modern Rep's.

Did you totally miss the part where I said that a study was done (of people working in medicine) and that it was found that women tend to ask for a promotion less often than men do?

You have no idea what a generalisation is. Men do more dangerous jobs than women; that's not a generalisation, it's a fact. A generalisation would be saying "men do more dangerous jobs, therefore a man is more suited to doing dangerous jobs than a woman is".

You aren't making the world more predictable.

(con) sorry i just don't like how intellectually dishonest that pay gap claim seems to be presented by feminism.

[iateyursandwiches]

and they can be depending on the situation as I said. And you are seriously saying it doesn't matter if the world can be made more predictable? btw I noted that one thing that guy said to you in your argument is "men do more dangerous jobs than women" that is a true generalization based on fact. whether or not they should get paid more was was a strange point(however it does explain the pay gap which btw is calculated in terms of annual usually when they say that you know right?)

No, retard. I clarified what I meant. You know, there is a 500 character limit, which means detailed explanations aren't suited to YouTube comments (and another reason why you using a generalisation here would be pointless).

It's irrelevant whether or not the world is predictable. What's relevant is whether or not generalisation based predictions are likely to be accurate.
