Feminism & Equality.

Feminism, like many social movements today, is an overreaction to whatever stimulus sparked its creation. In the case of feminism, it was born in response to women not being able to vote and participate in society on the same level as men. Their ideas took hold and eventually they got what they wanted.

Fast forward to present day and you'll find these social equality movements have gone too far. The SJWs of the world look at outcomes and notice that the distribution of people in a given sample does not exactly match that of the population at large.

Anyone with a basic education and a hint of common sense could figure out that it's impossible for everything to be perfectly distributed, but they don't let this stop them.

They cry out that some social injustice is causing this imperfect representation of the population. What they forget is that people make choices and those choices shape the outcomes.

Many service jobs are held by women, while many STEM jobs are held by men. SJWs would say that this is because the system teaches women that they can't do STEM and actively prevents them from pursuing those career paths.

What you won't hear them say is the opposite - that the system pushes men away from service jobs. They seem to have overlooked or completely forgotten that men and women are physiologically different.

These differences will naturally create general differences in behaviour, ways of thinking, preferences, and so on, which could easily explain the skewed representation in different job markets.

Feminists and members of other social equality movements claim to want equality, but what they really want is equality of outcome. This is not equality. A system designed to enforce equality of outcome would be inherently prejudiced and most likely lower the quality of goods and services produced by a given job.

It would, on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc, discriminate and take away opportunities from the individual - the very thing SJWs claim to be against.

They've come full circle. If they believed in equality, specifically equality of opportunity, they would realize that in most cases opportunities are available to those who are willing and able to seize them.
