What a great clip. Thank you for sharing it, and the highlights from your posts as well. So much to chew on here. I feel like I’m really JUST starting to grasp how difficult/damaging it was for of my boys to go through childhood and adolescence with these limitations and biases, and they are 19-27. The lasting impact is real.

I put off watching this clip because I thought it really was a guy mansplaining --what a pleasant surprise.

Maybe we need to realize that academia, unlike fortune, doesn’t favor the bold … its favors the BORING. “Underperformance”? According to whose standards? Oh yeah, that would be the standards of the unexceptional women who “out perform” men in a system that selects for mid-wit conformity.

Men just need the Government stop discriminating men (by supporting women). A time must come where we stop gynocentrism. Equality IS a trap to put women over men. Period.

One should look up the affirmative action that males receive when applying to selective private universities. It is hard for conservatives to demand a merit based society and then say that women would be held to a different, higher standard.
