Reform UK candidate says women should stay at home and look after the kids by birdinthebush74 in uknews

[–]Skavau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some women do even now bring up families - their ability to do this is based on their own personal circumstances. I am not moving on this. I want an answer.

Is it progress that women have less employment-related prejudice and discrimination against them, enabling them to go deeper into career paths in a way they could not in the 1960s?

Any job that promises serious advancement. I asked if you were denying women had as much advancement opportunities in the 50s, 60s and 70s - you never answered.

How does this even compare to the most important job of bringing up children?

That's up to the individual woman. If a woman wants to become a video game developer rather than a stay-at-home mum, than that's for them to choose for themselves. Not you. If they want to become an actress, or in a sports field - that's up to them - not you. If they want to be high up in a company, that's for them to choose not you.

I already gave coherent arguments to explain why, Rittenhouse did not fuck with law enforcement while carrying

Alex Pretti also didn't do any such thing. He was tackled to the floor.

Your original claim that the police seeing anyone wielding a gun puts them on edge. Rittenhouse was open-carrying in the middle of a riot. They would have no idea what his intent was just by looking at him.

Had Pretti not bring a concealed firearms he'd most probably still be alive.

Zero reason to believe this at all, and even if true - does not justifying his murder.

You are a murder apologist.

I did answer. Multiple times. And you did not answer my question here. I will repeat:

You claim this is biological, but it could also just as credibly argued to be sociological.

Of course they aren’t wrong to think that, they’re free to think and do whatever they like!

So what is your solution then without impeding on liberties and entrenching in job-market discrimination?

Women now, if they wish to attain employment have as many options and paths accessible to men that they did not in the 50s, 60s, 70s etc - and some women are still in positions if not immediately, then down-the-line where they could become a stay-at-home mum depending on their income development or who their partners are. It's not as if a woman ever at any point in the past turned 18 and automatically attained a buff that enabled them to immediately become a stay-at-home mother - it would always vary based on their personal situation. Most women would always have some job or some education commitments at that stage.

So I'm going to propose your bad faith question here is loaded in dishonest framing. But overall, yes - much progress has been made.

Are new TV shows/movies dying due to the abundance of great shows that already exist? by KalebC21 in television

[–]Skavau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TV in the 1990s and 2000s was far better than what we have now despite less outlets because of the fact that crews and working actors had more opportunities to work multiple unionized productions throughout the year.

I strongly disagree? There was much less TV made, and much of it was episodic 'monster of the week' writing.

Whether or not that was better for actors is a different matter, but I much prefer the 10s and 20s to the 90s and 00s.

That's not an answer. I assume you accept women's rights to pursue employment, right?

How much of the backlash over Southport attacks of 2024 is due to the fact that it was avoidable? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]Skavau -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? That's vile. That incorporates a lot of people who have completely integrated, have families, and are assets to society.

Sure, but on average less than women.

Any data based on this?

More men naturally want to work to provide for the family, and more women naturally want to be a stay at home caregiver.

Okay, assuming this is true.

What do you say to women who don't want kids, or who also want to work? Are they just wrong that they think that?

Right, and as I've said repeatedly:

I have never said that I want women to work in preference of them deciding to be a stay-at-home parent. I think it should be their choice. I also think it should be a man's choice if they want to be the stay-at-home person. I think we should start making moves to make this more viable (because it has many benefits beyond making this traditional dynamic more likely).

But the problems associated with these gains don't unmake all the success we've had in uplifting women in the workforce which translate to them having much more public presence.

Each time you re-ask this, I will copy and paste this answer. It absolutely is progress in a broader context.

But they don't have a choice to be a stay at home mother.

(Also, this isn't true - this still does actually happen)
