Gender Studies: Do you agree that when women succeed, that means America succeeds?

[Crazydust676]

when women succeed, america succeeds?? all i see on the weekends is a bunch of half naked women complaining about their jobs trying to get laid.

we all know they follow that up on mondays with a bunch of quotes on facebook and instagram with how "success is a journey" BS,. yeah . success is a journey for those who love what they're doing.

No, it's not just 'when women succeed'. Men are part of America too.

Although to me it sounds like it has another meaning, when you look at other countries where their women aren't allowed to do anything

[Common Sense]

Everyone doing well, can in fact help a country succeed. However, "success" by entitlement or manipulation is usually inefficient, causing an overall loss, not success.

Consider the Women's Educational Equity Act which for decades disadvantaged boys in K-12 education in the U.S. When looking at the just boys vs. girls, in U.S. education, one could conclude girls are succeeding, but when looking at measures over time and internationally, one sees that boys doing worse has not helped the U.S. but rather hurt us.

Consider how feminists want to limit males entering STEM fields. It's the same. It will make women appear to be more successful, but limiting people from these fields will only hurt the U.S. overall, not help.

It's the same with most gender policies that artificially advantage one group while hurting another.

When people like Hannah complain about women in other countries, you know that this country is doing QUITE WELL with it's treatment of women.

Which is why feminism in 2014 for Western countries is irrelevant. The people with the easiest lives are those living off rich men not working (even easier than the rich men).

Sure its good for America - As long as she doesn't need a head start, special program, or easier work load than the man doing the the same job.

Men pay more for health insurance to cover women's increased cost http://pageformen.com/editorial/obamacar...f-society/

And no, women don't get paid less. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20...n-men.html

Personally I would love more women to succeed so I could stop subsidizing them.
