Sorry, my bad, I didn’t see your anime pfp the first time, so wasn’t aware I was getting into an argument with a special needs individual. I’m really sorry and hope you’ll forgive me.
That’s kind of my point. The gender issue is just more culture war bullshit to keep the worming class fighting petty squabbles, when the real issue is classism.
My story imply the question: who needs help more, rich women or poor men?
I get it. Women got so many extra opportunities when I was in undergrad it was silly.
A girl I was freinds with came from a very rich family, whi sent her to public school (which in the UK are private institutions for posh kids) her dad paid the rent on her luxury studio and gave her £400 a month to spend in Addition to her full maintainance loan she got because she lived with her mum who technically had 0 income because she got 2 houses in the divorce and lived off alimony, and managed to get a bursary AND scholarship for women in STEM fields, got extra, women only, study sessions with the TAs got to go to a women’s only STEM job fair like the one mentioned, got a free trip to America to go GDC (and had the chance to go to another big conference, but declined) and her as well as the other 10 highest scoring women on the course got a special recruitment meeting thing for internships with recruiters from FANG.
Whereas me, the state school kid from a shitty industrial town in the North and who’s parents could barely afford the petrol to drive me to that uni, didn’t get any bursary or scholarship, didn’t get the full maintainance loan, couldn’t even go to the normal job fair because I had to work in the evenings and didn’t get any extra study help despite being autistic and dyslexic. All because I was born with a dick.
Fuck this bullshit.
There are so many better ways to combat the sex disparity in certain fields.
