- Institute of Public Affairs' Bella d'Abrera says our universities have become “woke” and “pointless”.
Ms d'Abrera said discrimination has “no positive outcomes”, as she discussed the ANU’s decision to ban male applications for certain jobs.
“There is a difference between men and women,” she told Sky News Australia.
“This kind of equality of outcomes just will never work.”
The only time in history when children leave college dumber and more immature than when they went in.
They aren’t children they are adults acting like children. Disgusting
also poorer and less able to function in society.
And why do you suppose that is? Social media is what everyone blames, the big scapegoat, and that could be a contributor, but what really?
@@mikemccormick8115 social media isn't a scapegoat, it's literally engineered to addict people and brainwash them. Use of smartphones is another. And lastly, humans' inherent laziness and desire for convenience. These 3 are all related and they prey off of each other.
Thats a start. What about baby boomer parents, who spoiled and over praised their kids, inflating their egos too much which contributed to laziness, lack of work ethic, responsibility? The participation trophy concept. The desire for parents to be their kids friend, not a parent to respect. Bad manners, disrespect of their elders, many things not taught in the home that used to be. Kids being raised from day care or Nannie’s who didnt have that much stake in behavior, because both parents work 40 plus hrs/wk and exhausted. Overprotection and pressure on schools to coddle kids like they did. Basically no tough love or traditional standards. And a hundred other things. Modern parents may have good intentions but are still poor. Im a boomer and my generation created the millennials with all their flaws.
But they can't say exactly what a woman is.
Well it's a VERY complex question apparently....🤔😂
"Birthing Person"😆
They put men identifying as women over real women.
It's woke to be able not to say exactly what a woman is just as it's a woke woman who is able not to say exactly what a woke woman is.
A woman is someone who identifies as a woman. 😂😂😂😂😂 Welcome to wokeness
It is not just Australian universities that have gone woke.
It is all over the west.
Thanks for the idiocacy dozy.
It's not just universities. It starts with brainwashing them when they young. Basically indoctrinate them to confirm to what they're told without question so by the time they're 30 they now NOTHING about NOTHING. Its a dumbing down tactic. You dumb down the population you easily control them. People just need to quit following politics cause it's basically Satan himself and it shows. We gotta look out for ourselves and take care of each other. Educate and teach eachother. Cause no political system is gonna do it. It only hurts us.
"And stupid Universities will in time, make this whole country stupid as well."
I fear we're well past that point already.
We never are, remember it only takes one generation to fix any or every problem on earth.
@@jewishbanana7055 that timeframe of generation takes like 30 to 40 years. and honestly thats a lot. If you are taking into consideration the elimination of a society's habits and or beliefs
@@rapfaelezio6282 Yeah, the past is literally why we have problems because people can’t let it go. A generation is 20-30 years and even though it’s unrealistic, just always keep in mind that if everyone agreed to change the world we could do it anyday. Ofc this is unrealistic though because people are too stupid to even realize this and rather be stuck hating on others for no reason.
Worldwide. Here in Germany too.
@@jewishbanana7055 I used to believe in that. I looked at my fellow humans to overcome our problems. It's why I became a leftist -- because the right ignored global warming, sexism, racism, etc. And what did I get for that? Banned from social media sites and fired from my job BY MY FELLOW LEFTISTS because I will never say that a trans woman is a woman. The side I banked on as the moral and rational side has gone batshit insane with trans ideology. What do I have left to have faith in?
Men are banned, but people who 'identify' as women can apply, meaning that men can apply and tick the 'woman' box on the application form. As a woman I don't 'identify' as a woman I just AM a woman. Whatever happened to recruiting on merit? When did the best person for the job become objectionable?
Very well said 👍
There's no merit when topics include dark matter, which would result in failure of future research, and computer programs would become useless.
When you apply, simply identify as a woman, get the job or the tenure, then miraculously turn into a man and rake in all the millions of dollars for wrongful termination of employment. Check mate.
@@mikitz Someone has to play them at that game.
Only because the nurse or the doc assigned your identity as female at your birth, we don't no if you really ARE a woman.
Right?
Right... 😉
What is the point of going to universities? Professors don't even know what a woman is.
So that Liberals could get a shred of power that they have been longing for and apply for a fake study that does nothing to help compensate for their lack of a personality or character.
University grads earn more money than non-graduates over their lifetime. Bryan Caplan says this is basically because grads have proof they can meet deadlines, manage their time, follow community rules, etc
@@zachgates7491 Still doesn't excuse the lax nature of Universities when it comes to passing people in Western Culture, or the professors teaching the students rather useless subjects and studies. It's in need of official reform.
@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060 maybe there are many people at university who don’t belong there? Maybe professors feel they don’t have the right to drastically reduce a student’s future earnings? Maybe useless subjects are taught because students paid to be taught useless subjects? Maybe the Yale or jail scenario is true for some students? But don’t worry, Biden is thinking hard about repairing the broken educational system.
@@zachgates7491 Lol. He'll fix it with a jack hammer and a spending bill.
It sounds like the university is saying that women can't compete with men on equal terms, on a knowledge based level.
If I was a woman I would be insulted.
Someone needs to take them to court. The Australian public service has jobs only for Aboriginal people as well. Disgraceful discrimination.
And what about free university degrees for Aboriginals?
I don’t mind a 2-4% Indigenous Quota. Many true Aboriginal people do a great job in a modern workplace when actually given a fair chance. What I hate is when some of these jobs get filled by city-based people who are whiter than me and who belatedly chose later in life to identify as Aboriginal. They have never faced any discrimination.
This leads to tick the box indigenous quotas without giving true opportunity to genuine Aboriginal people living on the margins. Just need to claim that you are a proud man/woman of some not too close nation and claim that your now dead Granny was one of the Stolen generation.
One skilled tradesman is worth a thousand PhDs in gender studies.
More than a thousand!!
IT’S OVER 9000!!!
Daaaamn

More like nine hundred thousand
I'm calling for the defunding of all Australian Universities !
And Americans.
@@peggymurphy7917 I'm Australian so I won't lecture Americans about what they should do but for Australia I know exactly what should be done !
Unfortunately defending universities is probably part of the problem. That's why they started recruiting international students. Instead of universities being a place of education it's become a business
And English
@@peggymurphy7917 ....THE WEST IS BOTH UNHOLY BECAUSE OF THE DEMONIC LEFT & DYING,....THE BIRTH PAINS HAVE BEGUN.
I’m in mourning,my youngest son is off to uni very soon,loosing him to wokeness.Lost my first son four years ago,now he blasts and talks me down everyday to go educate myself in any discussion.I’m 60 and won’t be dictated to by a lad totally inexperienced with life and responsibilities that comes with it.
I feel for you. My daughter luckily wasn't brainwashed like all of her class. Sad they respect outside sources more then their level headed and experienced parents
Kick em out mum...if they abuse you in your home...kick em out on their pansy asses...tell em to get a freaking job.
He'd find himself out on his butt for lake of respect
Tough love. That's your only option you have left..
Let them support themselves! Good way to teach them the world does not owe them a living or suffer fools gladly. Want to go to uni? Get a job! I put myself through uni at 42 and got a 1st class degree (one of only 6 in the year)despite running a home with 2 children and a husband. Still did all my own housework, garden etc, as well. University is wasted on the young as most have no knowledge of life or reality. Let him go when he is mature enough to realise what the world is really about and how to appreciate his parents' support, experience and real knowledge!
As a hiring manager, I focus not on the university name, but what the kid knows... and what their values are. The minute I spot wokeness... I say, "next".
Thanks for keeping sane
I thought anti- discrimination laws still apply. The fact it's happening at publicly funded institutions is even more alarming.
Its ALWAYS in white societies.. Hmmm
Time to wake up I think 🤔
I wonder what would happen if it was taken to court.
If you think you are bad, you should see the UK.
@@scotmacc 100%. The UK has been on a downward spiral for decades driven by globalism and political correctness. Whatever you do in OZ keep calling a spade a spade and don't ever allow the left to change the name of cooon cheese or samboy chips. If that time comes you know you've lost the battle.
The fact that less-skilled women can be employed over more skilled men is the reason the world is in such poor shape today.
Yes , and most cops don't have the life experience or the maturity to be doing what they are doing either , the vast majority of them are revenue raising robot's for the corporation you serve .....
Exactly! And that's also a problem in Government. Too many unskilled women in parliament.
Very true statement. 👍
Just have a look 👀 at the US Vice President Harris!
@@scottlewisparsons9551
Great example. I recall Brandon saying he was going to choose a running mate who was a woman and black. Competency was not mentioned.
Here in South Carolina, I tried starting a business as a woodworker. When I applied for my LLC the accountant asked me if there was a woman or a minority I could put the business under to get a lower tax status... hell no, I'm an artist that happens to work with wood. That's like demanding Picasso to sign his wife's name at the bottom of his paintings, she didn't do the work, he did. Long story short, because of the virtue of my skin color and sex I was taxed at a higher rate, so much so that I had to turn in my LLC because I was paying more in taxes and fees than I was actually making because I wasn't willing to work absurd hours to try and keep things going. I'm a disabled veteran, I just wanted a side job that expressed my artistic creativity to keep myself busy, but I'm not allowed to do that apparently. It's not like I was asking for a lot, but what was asked of me was so absurd as to be unaffordable.
Fighting bigotry with bigotry is the same as trying to extinguish a house fire with a flamethrower, or spending your way out of debt. You advertise to everyone your level of intellectual fraudulence.
Why on earth should your race or gender get you a different tax status? Everyone should be treated exactly the same.
And women complain they are treated inferior to men
Someone please bring back meritocracy!
Can you imagine the uproar, the head shaking and hand ringing if the job advert had said "Only men need apply" 🤔
to get these positions men should just put down 'identify as female' on the application
i'm a sperm donor i hope i get the job based on merit and performance......the day of the interview i came on the bus.
This is life under the Matriarchy - were women look after themselves and throw men, justice, fairness, family and all that Western society is based on under the bus. The government is their husband and provider - but the government loves them not, and will eventually fail under the never demands placed on men, who are not given jobs or any help to support this behemoth.
@@LibertyPrime199 Ah yes. The old I identify as way to go. Woke has it that if you identify as a woman you are a woman despite having a beard and other equipment men have.
what like the English marines I wanted to join when younger that now allow women?! Well I'm too old to join now 😅🙈
Fight WOKE with facts and reality, and our children will prosper.
bro.. men can work these women only jobs. all they gotta do is say they're a woman.
The only problem with that is that these cunts can't understand logic, facts or the reality.
yes!!!
No! That’s not how you fight this level of insanity. You know the saying “facts don’t care about your feelings”? In practice their feelings don’t care about facts. What makes you think the truth is going to snap these people out of their delusion. You fight wokeness by ridiculing it. You fight woke people by showing them the same disdain and vitriol they show you
You're watching SKY... you obviously don't care about facts and reality
I hope someone has the time and money to take these universities to court and sue them on discrimination.
This right here has just made me appreciate why Jordan Peterson is against manufacturing equality rather than allowing things to flow naturally. This is the purest form of discrimination.
Openly discriminatory hiring practices? The end result of "diversity initiatives".
They call is equity. Giving females a helping hand as they can't get there without it.
Start filling gender discrimination law suits against these "women only" BS.
Yes. Can't wait to see the first case.
I highly doubt that it would make any difference. Even if a male was employed - they'd only hand him a broom.
@@bradwilliams1691 if the law was applied appropriately the way it should , then the law suites wouldn't even allow a woman's only organization to form.
If I was a bloke and wanted that job ... I would just wear a wig and identify as a woman for the interview... if I did not get the job I would kick up a fuss about trans rights .... get the liberal woke uni mob behind me and I think soon enough I would get the job!

It's time you teach history in these universities
All universities are now prioritizing wokeness.
Thank you SkyNews Australia!
The hate and exclusion (by so called inclusive people) toward men is disgusting. Without good, hard working, smart men our world wouldn’t work.
Thanks. I think of buildings,high tension wires,factories,roads,subterrainian mining, etc built by men. we're just physically stronger. That being said the women did a great job in the airplane/weapons factories here in the states during WW11. Best person for the job. Parent's of wokies softball the treatment of their children everywhere I go. If they don't comply pull their phone. Instant compliance.
🎯
That's what they want , a world that doesn't work so they can implement a one world government new world order to take what little freedoms we have left completely away.
and why the men? because who's gonna defend the women when all the men will have starved or frozen oustide for some? ............if we're not there anymore......i just dont wanna think about it its pissing me off beyond reason
@@davidanderson8469 Oh they still want men to do the dirty, dangerous jobs, while Astrophysicist Barbie (a real thing!) gazes upwards through her "glass ceiling", ignoring the dirt floor supporting her, maintained by men.
Universities are not paying taxes, increasing fees 1200% when wages went up 270%. Charging fees to 18 year old, making loans to them in the hundreds of thousands, the same banks that will not lend the same person $1000 for rent.
Universities have always discriminated students based on their own political agendas. Discrimination against students of different backgrounds, financial status or even those doing studies part time. I have many members of my family who have achieved the highest levels at several universities in Australia and they have often spoken about this problem.
Don't see many female Sewer Flushers working in London. I think women who want equality should have this role.
@ArturNS Absolutely, I 100% agree. They want equality, give it to them.
Hear hear!
@ArturNS Not to mention bricklayers ,garage mechanics, plasterers, paviours et al.
@@donnae9566 This is calling their bluff. They don't want equality, they want superiority
Demand more death to wahmin in war... Drag them all to military draft to have better access for equality 🙏🙏🙏
Universities across the entire western world have the same problem with wokeness unfortunately any opinion that is slightly to the right of left wing progressism are getting banned from campuses it's extremely worrying.
This is left-wing neo Marxist activists disguising themselves as "professors" and brainwashing and poisoning our young people's minds.
These should not be tolerated and there must be something either governments or people can do to change it.
Using the term “progressive” to describe the looney left is a bad idea. There is nothing progressive about the leftist dogma, in fact the leftists are regressive.
@@urbanabrandon That is very true. The only advancement left-wing "progressives" do is to the past.
University's are no longer functional and becoming little more than woke day care centres training the next generation of progressive activists of no valuable to society. The best minds should be very careful and avoid woke institutions - perhaps time for a new league table?
Western world because it's an attack by the East
People need to stop giving these institutions any money or attention - ban them from civil society!
Men need to start mentoring men outside of schools if this is what academia has come to…
In my field, they actually took two courses off, used to be 12, now 10 to get a designation. Fact is, it didn't work. Most of the women gave up.
Let them learn the hard way. I've worked for a company that was transitioning to all women. I laughed the entire time. Total chaos. Stupidity reigned everywhere. Each woman wanted to be THE boss and none of them knew how to do the heavy lifting. I enjoyed it up until the day I left and took my investments with me.
I retired from teaching college chemistry 8 years ago. I rated myself about a B+. I had my moments but I recognized that there were professors far superior to me. It is heart breaking for me to see the outstanding professors getting cancelled and the mediocre (I would say C-B at best) taking over the institutions. These professors (gender studies, women studies, actually anything ending in studies ) are the mediocre professors who could not make a name for themselves playing by the rules so they have decided to rig the game.
Exactly
well said
And that right there... is why an ethics office is 10x better than a "diversity"office any day of the week.
@@michaelverbakel7632 I guarantee you that at this very moment, their are proposals for courses called "What is a woman?" working their way through curriculum committees at universities even as we speak.
There were probably a few who would 'rig the game', and decidedly more now who are 'playing the game' (ie simply being pragmatic about opportunity). But I think the vast majority of this stems from women who were brought up on the lies, half-truths, and cherry-picked 'facts' of feminism, which through all of its 'waves', basically told the same lie - that women have been oppressed through all of history, and that now reparations must be paid.
No "levelling up" for Bricklayers then?
99% of bricklayers are men, how about more female bricklayers.
I'm a female senior developer, and I always get excited when there is another female candidate, because for every 100 male applicants, we get 1 female.
But I can't hire them "because girl power".
We've only collectively agreed upon hiring 1 girl as a developer because she was ACTUALLY GOOD.
We passed on dozens of female applicants because they didn't make the cut.
But, we also passed on THOUSANDS of male applicants.. because they didn't make the cut.
Bella makes a great point here, when she says "these females will always be wondering 'did I get this job because I'm qualified, or because I'm a girl?'"
I, for one, would never want that doubt.
I KNOW I've earned my position at my company. And i would NEVER want a young female to wonder if she's "good enough" to hang with the boys.
I'm all for hiring people with "potential" who aren't yet at the skill level they need to be.
But that only works if you have practices in place at your company that allow you to grow and cultivate their skills (which often means hand-holding)
If you choose to hire 1 or 2 people that can shadow a Mid or Senior, great!
But if you hire 10 people that ALL need hand-holding (basically Entries at a Grasshopper skill level)... how do you get any work done?
Isn’t this illegal! I cannot advertise ‘men only’ when I seek a new employee. Hello Fair Work?
I'm a man. Happy to be a man. Not mentally unsure of my sex, everything is where it should be. I'm looking for work at the moment and even getting an interview is really hard. I'm getting very tempted to start identifying as a woman just to get an opportunity to food on the table.
Shave ya legs,get a dress,a wig,don't forget the big lashes!all the best.
Same here!
I say just do it. If all men start doing it, the left will have to admit it’s stupid.
You should do it.
They created a trap when anyone can say what they are, so if you say you're a woman the woke companies can not deny you.
Considering all you need to do is say the words and words mean nothing nowdays, go for it queen!
I would rather get a job on my merit than because I am a woman, I remember years ago getting my dream job only to find out a month after getting the job the other female employee stated she wanted another woman in the position. After hearing that I asked the boss if this was true, it was upsetting to hear this, it did make me work harder to prove to myself I was worthy of the job and all the hate work did pay off in the long run. The next step in my career within the same company I earned through hard work, to the position of section manager, by this time both the old boss and the other female had already quit the company only 18 months into my time with the company.
I have always believed one should only get the job if they have earned not because of their sex. I thought we had left that kind of discrimination behind us back in the 1990’s here we are in a new century and there are people who are still trying to pull this shyt
Why are the uni people who have made this decision not name and shamed? We need to know who's doing this rather than letting them hide
Being a woman engineer working in UK defence, engineering and education, I am utterly astonished!! A job should be obtained purely on merit, ability and skills! Surely Oz must have laws against such discrimination? Neither man nor woman should stand for such nonsense.
Discrimination is discrimination no matter what words you use to dress it up.
Thank you for reporting on this. Extreme academic discrimination caused me to give up on school after sixth grade (1990-1991). I feel vindicated.
I love how australia has the guts to call this stuff out, yet in britain the media are absolutely terrified, completely silenced
When I left an alleged top 50 university in WA as a mature age male engineer in 2015, the top 3 mining companies set an intake standard. 50% new students had to be female. Three problems;
1. It's sexist to men and hypocritical. Men are at a disadvantage because of their gender.
2. It's sexist to women. It implies they are not competent enough to get there on their only talent and need extra help.
3. When the output of new students is at a ratio of 4:1 males to females, it makes it even harder for men to get a job they should be able to get on merit.
No wonder men are not going to university. I would never have done it if I had my time again.
You think this is going to help our Aussie society become better, stronger, more competent in an alarmingly hostile world??. Wake up people!! The rest of civilization outside this fairy floss one we live in is very different.
The Left are completely hypocritical. Discriminating against males to let more females is patronising to women and sexist against men. Hiring people from "diverse backgrounds" is making the assumption that non-white people are automatically different which is racist.
I don't think many of the women who get these jobs will ask seriously whether they were actually qualified for the jobs. They've been fed too much "girl power" to now approach their positions with any real intellectual humility. But the respect commanded by the positions will permanently be eroded.
Exactly.
Applying for a position in Stellar Astrophysics because her name is Stella.
No more equalizing nice AC controlled desk jobs....women are far more underrepresented in the dirty dangerous back breaking jobs. We should force women into these positions, because diverse representation is more important than individual rights.
This is why companies are going to fall a part. If you want the best company you need the best people for the job.

@@sclark9011 Similar story in my workplace mate, some male employees with years of experience replaced or otherwise pushed aside for someone with little or no experience on our field of work simply because they have a degree in philosophy or some orhet likewise useless qualification but manage to tick the correct diversity boxes!

Rush Limbaugh called it the dumbing down of society.
"Idiocracy" was just 500 years off.
That is TOTALLY INSANE
I am appalled at the shortage of women working in sewerage. Something must be done.
Woke refer to a word “inclusion” only when it suit them. Unfortunately discrimination is everywhere in the public sector as they need them to boost their 50% quota. We used to believe that equality and employed the best person (men/women) in their field of expertise rather than give them a token role(s).
Why aren't the same standards applied in the fields where Women already dominate and provide Male Only Positions? You never hear them complaining about the lack of males in the areas where female numbers far outweigh males. NO women these days are penalized in STEM (quite the opposite!!) and have the same pathways between males and females all the way through the education system and women are quite capable of competing on an equal recruiting process without the need for special treatment. These positions belittle women in the field, where it should be the best applicant that fills the position and if that happens to be 85% women, then so be it and vice versa.
....THE WEST IS BOTH UNHOLY BECAUSE OF THE DEMONIC LEFT & DYING,....THE BIRTH PAINS HAVE BEGUN.
Perhaps state governments are failing to resource hospitals adequately because the job ads specify males only. ... I refuse to be cared for by a female nurse - I demand gender equality. 😆
Exactly schools are dominated by female teachers, that's a good place to start. Nurses too ,imagine the feminists outcry
How about evening out the number of bricklayers, carpenters and steel workers? It’s always about the prestigious jobs, management and leadership positions. What about the daily grunt work and blue collar, physical, outdoor, labor intensive jobs? And there are a few females, but how many by comparison?
I've been saying that for years. Plus, you don't hear women complaining about the lack of female roof tilers. As usual, the Left shoots itself in the foot as it's basically saying women aren't smart enough to achieve things fairly, they have to be given special treatment which they call "equity".
There was a time when College/University were aiming for Graduates. Now it is Diversity to please, government quotas. Of course paying old tenured professors who "teach" outdated courses have to be paid.
Just have two universities: one for men and one for women. I reckon I could tell you how that would end
Great idea and also businesses in the private sector for women only. I wonder how long before the women would tear each other apart with back stabbing
It actually used to be that way. The staff was not always the same though.
They will not allow men only unis for exactly that reason - but probably will not be long before they have women only unis, then they will gradually defund the others so they can look good.
We already have that. Majority of businesses/finance econ majors as well as engineering are men, while medicine and arts are heavily women.
To combat this as a small business owner, I'll be hiring right wing Men only. Youre welcome!
Send me your resumes, lads.
How is this legal? Get the equal opportunity commissioner on the show to “please explain”
This doesn’t go far enough! We demand a conscription in the workforce with parity amongst the sexes in CEO positions, senior management, compulsory gender parity in the teaching sector, deep sea pipe repair… brickies labouring… furniture removal, grease trap cleaning, sewerage maintenance and plumbing, abattoire workers, road plant operators, metal fabricators.
I for one would love to walk past a beauty salon and see 50% male employed staff members. I’d love to talk to Wayneo and Daveo about their jobs selling Chanel no.5 at DJs city store.
Get back to basics... and FACTS before feelings.
These are not even genuine feelings...
There is no gender imbalance in anything just women and men tend to opt for different careers. Where are all the women sewage workers or bin men/women. Merit has gone out of the window when only one section of the population is allowed to apply for a job.
When I went to uni in the 1970's Marxism was in vogue, and many students took it up because it was trendy. But some of us will always resist a sheepish group mindset.
Dr. Thomas Sowell, has predicted this nonsense for years. The cost of public sector institutions and companies discriminating is minimal. They simply pass the inefficiency onto the tax payer. All these men will end up in the private sector and kick ass in these jobs.
we have the same problem in Canada...I hate the "wokeness"!
I know a guy and his wife who patronized a Starcrooks here in San Diego. "I'll have a foo foo latte and my wife will have a chai tea please." He doesn't man-answer for her. She's shy,tells him what to order and he does it. The barista or whatever name they call themselves replies, "You mean your partner?" "No she's my wife and I'm her husband." Dang.
Excellent. I also correct anyone who labels my husband (spouse) as my "partner".
Let me guess ; So these “jobs” are gonna be 9 to 5 only; six figure income plus, Monday through Friday only, never any overtime whatsoever, two months paid vacation per year, no consequences for call offs, no tardy violations, two hour lunch breaks, every office position is a corner office with large windows; and every position is going to be a marketing Director position right?
One positive thing about this is that at least they are being honest about it. Many jobs now are earmarked for women but men waste their time applying and attending interviews.
All the women I know are having multiple job interviews, a job they’ll stay at for 5 mins then leave… meanwhile as a man I can’t get a single interview after 1,000 applications.
It’s now day care. Persons get trained after they actually land their first job nowadays.
I'm all about this... when it comes to infrastructure, women should be at the front for equality... bricklayers, plumbers, roofers, framers, drywallers, carpenter's, etc... women should step up & even out the field. All the power to them!
Idiocracy warned about this.
I think one thing we've discovered about Australia through all the pandemic and all this other stuff is that Australia is a woke whacked-out place
Like ½ of America... This Aussie Feels sorry for both countries..
Sadly it’s not just Australia.
Society is being destroyed from the foundations up!
The nuclear family unit- Dominant male father, submissive female mother and subservient children is the very foundation upon which society is based.
Men and women are two equally important but necessarily different halves of a single unit.
Being different doesn’t make one inferior to the other.
Look at this example- who is more important in a hospital- the cleaner or the surgeon?
Neither, in fact the surgeon is more dependent on the cleaner to ensure the hospital is clean whilst the cleaner is only dependent on the presence of the surgeon for employment.
People have been too busy playing the game of life. Pushing others down to get to the top.
If life were a game no-one would want to play it- imagine a game where everyone loses in the end!
People playing the game of life see the proverbial glass as half full or half empty. They are both wrong and have completely missed the point!
Be grateful to have a glass, for when you are you will see the nonsensical nature of the very question.
Life isn’t measured by what you take, but what you leave behind!
You are only entitled to what you brought when you were born and what you take when you die - nothing.
You weren’t born with rights- not even the air you breathe is a right or an entitlement, it is instead an honour and a privilege.
Lastly there are, and can only forever be two biological genders - it is so simple when it is determined by what is between a person’s legs rather than between one’s ears.
@@brucethevoice Your example of the cleaner & the surgeon was how we were told in the restaurant that people look down on the dish washer job, but the dish washer is actually more important than the cook or waitresses. Being that every dish starts with.. the dish. So we always remembered to be kind & give thanks to our dishwashers.
Yip my friend that is an accurate assessment from what i can see from southafrica
When Dynorod came to unblock my employers sewage system none of the seven workers were women, a total disgrace, this imbalance need's to stop. Also universities should teach people how to think, not what to think.
in theory this is a good idea to "level the playing field" if there is a lopsided employment gap for no good reason, but um...it's the same reason there are almost zero women who are furniture movers. Obviously the reasons for requiring men as furniture movers are not in contention, but with science and engineering the same applies - men are just more adept statistically (not overwhelmingly but measurably) and more interested at applying themselves to excel at it, in the same way that women are more adept at (and passionate with) jobs involving dealing with people and caregiving (no surprise there).
So there will be naturally MORE of a selection pool of male scientists and engineers, and the average quality among them will be higher.
Sexism in this aspect was apparent in the past to some degree but not to the extent they make it seem. Going strictly on merit and number of applicants, easily 7/10 STEM positions would be filled by men undisturbed. By making the positions women-only, only the absolute best among the women applicants would be able to prevent long-term quality loss to research appointments, and those will run out very quickly.
Funding universities needs to be rigorously reviewed. And cut back for all those anti science subjects and their lecturers and the chancellors responsible.
Yeah, good luck with that - filling slots with potential 2nd, 3rd and 4th rate applicants should bode well.
It's like banning philips screwdrivers.
Then all we'd have are slotted screwdrivers.
As indeed they should. Square head/Robertson screws and drivers should be standard issue
I was under the Impression that Discrimination was against the Law.
The wording is important. This is not a leg-up for women, but for anyone who "identifies" as a woman.
In other words, males CAN apply - so long as they 'identify' as female.
In short, a 'woman' born male may well be appointed to the post, and that would earn the institution untold virtue points. Women gain absolutely nothing from this, except perhaps further derision as pathetic and unable to achieve by themselves.
Equality through exclusion. Circus world.
Someone should sell tickets.
George Orwell's "1984"
What we need is for men to have some fun by applying as transgender women. We need a lot of guys to do this, as many as possible. Then once they are in they can express their gender fluidity by transforming into men again. Problem solved!
Lol I thought the same thing, if you can't beat women as unfairly as they try to beat men in the work force, multiply their image with a metaphor :)
We have an extremely 'woke' member in our family who believes that it's impossible for a supposed 'victim' or minority group to be guilty of prejudice. The example she gave was that if a black person hates all white people, that black person is not guilty of prejudice, because the black person is entitled to feel this way because of his/her being a member of a victimized demographic. We see the same logic in this video, in that the university doesn't consider itself 'sexist' by limiting job openings only to women.
same in the UK
7:25 About a year ago, I ceased participating in a highly successful physics-teaching initiative that went "woke", and claimed that "societal sexism" is why most physics degrees are earned by men. A Director of the initiative told me personally that men should just accept that claim, without asking for evidence.
Of course don't, ask for evidence. Next thing you know people will be asking whether or not things said are true.🥴 🤐
