Has anyone heard of the Dream Gap? According to Mattel girls as young as five develop self-defeating beliefs. The Barbie movie is asking you to close the dream gap.

Girls do better than boys in school because they're told to and females tend to aquiesce to authority.

What happens when they get out of school? They all become dental hygienists and child workers, not business founders or inventors.

"Dreams" are a biological punishment for girls, distracting them from the mediocre, yet comfortable, life that they ultimately desire.

I am not a woman but from talking to them, if they get really, really honest about their experience, the people telling them they have to doll up, or that they’re weird for wanting to do science or woodworking or other “male” pursuits is… drum roll… other women. Often, their mothers have a lot to do with it, since naturally mothers come from an earlier generation and what women are “supposed” to do and be is changing rapidly. But as Bill Burr points out in his famous WNBA routine, women like to tear each other apart and then blame men for the result.

The vast majority of criticism a woman will receive in her life comes from other women.

They develop self-defeating beliefs because that's how they're built.

Women desire security, and something about that makes them insecure as fuck.

They overcompensate by putting on the ridiculous "boss bitch" persona, but it's just a mask for 9/10 of them.

I believe what happens at 5 is that children start to develop self awareness and self control.

That's what they're targeting here that women should remain unaware narcissists like toddlers are.

Look how well that's gone.

Aren't girls doing better than boys in school?

And basically across the board, right? Females are ahead of males in a lot of sectors now...and the gap is growing...while they say they still need help. It's only going to get worse.

According to Mattel girls as young as five develop self-defeating beliefs.

Now, if we look at the boys...oh shit oh shit oh shit. Nevermind. No, let's just look at the poor, suffering girls. Let's focus on that. That's the agenda.

I was thinking about this subject this morning. The show Phineas and Ferb shows that the two brothers end up a bit dull by the time they finish high school. They aren't flying F-15s through the city or living off their several money making adventures. They're worried about College and romance, and being normal.

As a Cub Scout leader I've seen it several times. The guys come in with ambitions to do a bunch of fun stuff, and then they hit middle school and are terrified to do anything.

I only know of one my scouts who went after his dreams. The rest faded a bit.

Of course they develop self-defeating beliefs.

They're taught self-defeating beliefs.

Like "There is no such thing as absolute truth."

Is THAT true? Are you ABSOLUTELY sure?

That's retarded anyway, if you need constant encouragement to pursue a dream maybe that dream isn't as important to you anyway. Because, yes, you need to fail a lot and you are going to get a lot of hostile looks.

Not even mentioning the unralistic shit boys play with like robots, dinosaurs, space marines, etc.

Modern American women are already spoiled brats because no one in their lives ever told them "no", "stop", or "that's a stupid idea". Things men hear everyday from themselves and from others.

There are far too many people who don't understand this. IDK why. The "Dads" are oblivious to it. The Moms, if they're not the same, are oblivious to it. If a girl says "I wanna play basketball" and she's 4'2", she gets a private coach. No one even thinks about what they're good at because it's all "possible."

One thing the feminists have right about the patriarchy is society does involve a lot of controlling of women. If you don't, you end up with no society.
