[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 15831102, member: 155561"] I had a philosophy class in College with a very liberal female professor. To be fair, she did a very good job of keeping her opinion out and just facilitating open discussion so I will give her that... until we got to feminism. She went on a rant about how Women only hold like X % of government positions and males have always this and blah, blah, blah, all these statistics and because I HATE blanket statements I raised my hand and asked the following question: "There's ways to measure how many women are not in government positions, but it is impossible to measure how many women WANT to be in government positions, so what's the point of these statistics? All they're doing is saying that more positions are filled by men, but it is impossible to quantify how many women want those same positions." Silence, she had no answer because i'd knocked her off a soap box. I wasn't being a dick, but it's a valid point, her stats were meaningless. Her follow up point was women in the field of sociology, and how shes the only woman from her bacherlors program and masters program to continue on with her PHD because its such a hard field for women. She then followed up to say she makes $35k a year and I'm like lol... well that's why no one else bothered to get a PHD in a profession that doesn't pay shit, not because of your BS "this field is hard for women."
