I was reading an article on Bounding into Comics about the latest gender swap and the shill media praising it and somebody in the comments mentioned that fact that his wife had a book club where they read romance novels and how foolish he would look if he demanded to join the book club and then demand that everyone read Tom Clancy or spy/military thrillers that he likes.
It made me wonder why there is this obsessive push to get women into hobbies that generally appeal to males. I mean women have always been interested in nerdy stuff but it is absurd the levels they keep pushing it and then attacking anyone as a "manbaby" who has an objection.
I remember when I still had a game informer magazine subscription it was at least every other issue that had some story about women in gaming and of course all the "abuse" they suffered. I know women were involved with Atari as well as Sierra games and others but just because a hobby appeals to males doesn't make it bad.
When the He-Man show was announced for Netflix (which I don't believe for a minute will be a show that doesn't push the whole strong women thing) the usual suspects on twitter were complaining about how men were crying about the She-ra show so they had to make He-man and then added that girls can't have anything for themselves.
So why do you think there is this obsessive push to get girls into things that boys generally like?
Is there an evolutionary explanation for why they do this?
We know that women are high on neurotisicm from personality tests. And let's be honest here; from simple observation. Exactly why would be a combination of things and not easy to pinpoint.
Referring to u/50BMG again he mentions a few things here
Women are likely collectivists because they depend on groups to protect them, and because they for millennia were the keepers of the camp in constant social engagement with the need to maintain harmony and find indirect ways of resolving social conflict.
They are more neurotic probably because they were weaker and being attuned to anxiety and fear was likely a positive selection bias for most of history. Survival depended on seeking the protection of others, and things in the world like human or animal predators were a much bigger and more constant risk to them.
They are more risk averse for similar reasons. And more forgiving and submissive towards the in-group, and ruthless and passive-agressive towards the out-group.
They have always carried the flames of whatever ideology is dominant - it's what you would expect neurotic people to do; huddle together and embrace the groupthink for added feelings of protection.
Equity is just an extention of that. The promise of finally being able to shed that fear in a world where everyone is safe and equal - not reaalizing that the fear is screaming at them from their genes, not from society which is the safest it has ever been, and where they are already massively provledged.
This is so true - we constantly hear we live in a “rape culture” - yet by comparison to every country that exists and has ever existed they are far safer than ever.
(rape culture does exist - it is systematically condoned by society in male prisons)
