Does a woman's "education level" matter to you?

[Jensen]

@Will_V,

There's an old quote I'm struggling to remember in full that talks about the 'comfort of women' taking over whatever women gain enough influence over.

But the basic process is:

1. Men start the original universities to share stuff they've learned with other men who want to learn it (e.g., Plato's academy)
2. Over time, more men pursue education at universities
3. Eventually it becomes less an elite male thing, and something even middle class men aspire to
4. Women want into universities to get access to the men there. They call it 'pursuing my MRS degree' and giggle about the husbands they will get
5. Other women see those women getting in and want to get in too. Some of these new women are feminists and want to compete with men rather than marry them. By going to men's schools they figure they can beat men at their own game
6. More and more women pile in. Some looking for husbands, some for feminist empowerment, many just because they see every other woman piling in and want to do what the crowd is doing
7. All these women now in university look around at university, started by men, and realize it is a very male environment
8. Women begin to push for university, this environment they find themselves in en masse now, to become progressively more female
9. Universities increasingly feminize, prioritizing things that make women a lot more comfortable while discomfiting men
10. Men start to devalue and avoid university as a place that is "not for men"

Enlightening stuff Chase. I love reading your posts.

The 'comfort of women' to appear 'inclusive' becoming the most important underlying theme of almost every social policy(irrespective of those concerning race at least) in US universities reminds me of something similar I have been reading recently that is happening in the UK, but instead of women it has to do with the 'comfort of religious minorities' to appear 'inclusive'.

I don't want to get to far into this, and accidentally derail discussion from it's intended topic, but I can't help but notice a few similarities.

Religious minorities move to the UK and immediately notice it is not like their homeland. You can criticize religion and even the mascots of every religion such as Jesus, Moses, and to the anger of many arriving religious minorities - Muhammed.

There are large protests in an area around a school district at the moment that relate to criticisms from a teacher of religious studies of the aforementioned figure. with the religious minority trying to get the school district to ban any criticism of muhammed. They were also able to make the teacher go into hiding.



If you are curious about the opinions of those who don't want criticism of muhammed, and see if you agree, you can check here to read their views, just don't brigade or reply!

Below is a comment from a native brit in that thread showing the other side of the debate.

So what we have is a certain incompatibility demonstrated here that makes new arrivals uncomfortable. I noticed a trend in the west that is taking place over the last 60 years or so.

1.)A group builds their homeland, grows prosperous, and from prosperity decides to opens itself up to the world, allowing trade, and anyone to enter.
2.) Many groups arrive to make money, and create a living, some notice their discomfort at their new surroundings, but keep quiet as they don't want to upset their host, or realize they are too small of a group to affect change.
3.) Over the decades as certain groups get bigger they start to get a new found confidence, and try to change their surroundings to something they feel is more suitable.
4.) These new changes(if they come to pass) make the original inhabitants uncomfortable, but they bear with it until they don't.
5.) Many of the original inhabitants move away from cities they built inside their homeland where the new arrivals now live, create an ever expanding area of suburbs.
6.) The country is completely changed from it's intended vision, and the original inhabitants are extremely unhappy.

At least in the UK, this is what is happening. There has been big discussion of many of the English moving away from the city of London that their families have lived in for generations. Heck, there are many ww2 veterans in the UK who say they never would have fought for hte country if they knew this is what the country would become.

TONY RENNELL: 'This isn't the Britain we fought for,' say the 'unknown warriors' of WWII

They're the generation who saved us from Hitler but their voice is rarely heard. Now a new book lays bare their dismay at the society for which they gave so much.

Not exactly the same as your process, and I left out a few steps, as I don't want this topic to become too controversial, but I notice a few similarities, such as giving up your principles for the comfort of someone else.

Also, for anyone reading I want to make a disclaimer that I am not trying to criticize any specific group. This is an overall trend I notice in the west happening no matter the groups or country. I think I read another post here mentioning arriving Christian zealots facilitating the same process in Rome, so it has happened in the west before.

There might be a lesson in all of this, but I am not good enough to see it yet.
