Jfem,
You realize on the one hand you state that part of “feminism” is
“understanding that there isn’t such a thing as “men’s jobs” and “women’s jobs”
Then you continue on to write,
“Of course, you are going to see some pretty significant gender disparities within certain fields, just because of natural aptitude or self-selection (for instance, female construction workers and male speech pathologists are both very rare breeds!”
So in other words feminism requires us to think that since there are exceptions to every rule the rule is completely negated.
Yup.
BTW I always thought that Hillary Clinton had the best line about what feminism requires,
“The willing suspension of disbelief”.
(Of course HC was using it in a different context, she was question Gen. Petreaus over the need for a surge and if it would work)
