    When that discrimination is systematic of course it needs to be opposed but constantly seeing the status quo as problem due to demographics causes discrimination in reverse.
    In this age too many people consider the mere existance of an imbalance as proof of intent. It is a mix of people who believe in equality of the sexes requires equality of outcome and the ambitious women who want to exploit those beliefs to side step competition.

    I rarely see campaigns calling for equality extend to menial jobs not considered glamorous or high status in society.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Nurses are over 80% female
    Human Resources is over 80% female
    Midwives are over 95% female
    Primary school teachers are over 80% female.

    These are not menial and why is being a city trader making numbers move more "glamorous" than these other professions. Is it that men don't like them? But why should that itself matter?

    I have seen adverts to get women into plumbing, construction and other more hands-on typical male careers. Not exactly glamorous.

    Then again, I am in a female dominated career and that doesn't bother me, neither does having female bosses. What is kind of interesting is that their bosses boss tends to be male though during the last couple of decades, they are now becoming females.

    They would be alternatively-correct(right) as always, better known as being wrong.

    Being a male in that field is rather invaluable and the fact they are a minority and the stereotype of the role is a female means there are missed opportunities. In the same vein, there are many male dominated careers which are stereotyped as such which should have a greater number of females for similar reasons.

    An example is female police officers helping to handle rape cases as many female feel vulnerable and victimised, and having a big muscled bloke questioning them and towering over them can be intimidating. The female officer in that circumstance is more uniquely positioned to act like a bridge to ensure the law is done. At the same exact time, having a male officer there too provides a positive male role model for the victimised rolemodel who might be scared of men, but having a safe male presence means they can adapt better to that situation and recognise that there some bad people but also good people too.

    I believe you meant ot suggest "*****-whipped." "Cucked" suggests the spouse is stepping out with others, which is not a necessary prerequisite to Beskar's having been 'topped' by females.


    I am 'whipped' as well. Though I would point at that the quality of the whipping is rather enjoyable. Perhaps Beskie enjoys the same? I know not.
