Oh so you do just want us to die quicker?
You'll ignore issues where we are discriminated against, but mines should have a 50/50 split.

Right.
Whoa, what was that, going out the window?

It was your credibility.

Don't quote me again (you probably will, but I wont reply. I did say I was going to get out of this thread because its turning into the stereotypical shit that the gaming community vomits out on a regular basis, and I've kind of got a busy week, stressing myself out on this isn't worth it).

EDIT: I will thank the guys who remind me that not everyone here is like that, you guys are great :) Without guys like you I'd have probably given up and stopped gaming long ago.

You have personal experience, I have a degree in Sociology and thirteen years teaching experience not counting the time I spent in training, I am pretty sure I am more qualified to speak about educational bias that you.

The way you speak is like you have something personal against women, you either need to take a good hard look at yourself and your ideals, or actually look into what you talk about.

I'm also wondering if you actually read my post, I did state that the exams were actually harder for girls, that isn't equality, that is giving boys a direct advantage over girls.

So far you have done nothing but trump up you narrow view of the world as seen from a...what? 18 year old, because you have experienced nothing, your view of the world is still constrained and tiny.

Grow up, research exactly what you are shoving straw men up against and then come back here and try to behave like a reasonable adult.
Well no, you don't. Unless you conducted extensive research that covered a broad area and have many data samples, his experience is just as valid as yours. You might be more qualified to analyze the data, but yours is just another useless opinion, same as his.

And no, he doesn't sound like he has something against women. It can get really enraging to see a giant information dump that says your sex is not getting the same benefits and is statistically higher to have more unhealthy/dangerous circumstances. See the TV tropes page on sexism. Feminism is crap because it presses for female equality, not equality where it is needed. Never seen a feminist write an article about the imbalance in paternal disputes or the encouragement of men to visit doctors.

There is plenty more bias towards girls in the form of scholarships but it would take quite a while to recount them all when you probably will ignore them.
The existence of scholarships for women isn't really a sign of discrimination or bias. It's an attempt to encourage women to complete higher education and pursue careers in fields where they have been historically underrepresented.

If anything, the fact that those scholarships are deemed necessary is something that could be considered a result of male privilege, not an example of female privilege.

Yes they are, they are discriminitory to men and women. The entire idea in and of itself is discriminitory, to suggest otherwise is asinine
Well, I'm convinced. I take back everything I said. Your logic is impeccable, good sir, as is your spelling.
